Hai Phong City’s customs authorities Thursday discovered 2 tons of ivory smuggled from Tanzania. 

Declared as dried seaweed imported by Tien Hoang Co., Ltd. from Mong Cai City in northern Quang Ninh Province, the ivory was hidden in 400 bags in 2 containers aboard the Mount Bokor that arrived in Hai Phong on April 28.

On April 29, Nguyen Quoc Hung, 34, Tien Hoang’s representative, showed up at the customs office to claim the goods which he said would be re-exported to China.
