Another case of rhino horn smuggling
A woman has been caught at Hanoi’s Noi Bai International Airport attempting to smuggle animal products, alleged to be rhino horn, into Vietnam.
According to airport customs officers, Nguyen Thi Nhan (born in 1987) arrived on a flight from Doha, Qatar on May 30.
While completing her entry procedure, Nhan was informed that she would have her luggage searched.
She then took three pieces of animal horn out of her coat and told the customs officers they were rhino horn. She didn’t declare the goods for lack of import certificates.
On June 3, the pieces were sent to the Anti-Smuggling Investigation Department under the General Department of Vietnam Customs to classify their origin.
