Authorities seized 364 metric tonnes of dates at Gujarat’s Kandla port after identifying a consignment imported through Dubai as originating in Pakistan. The Union Ministry of Finance said importers allegedly concealed material facts and mis-declared the country of origin to evade India’s ban on imports of Pakistan-origin goods. The importers were not identified, and the report gave no details of legal action. It also did not explain how authorities established the dates’ origin or what enforcement steps may follow.
