On the morning of December 6, Hong Kong Customs held a press conference to talk about the anti-illicit cigarette operations and summarized the effectiveness of the customs' enforcement of the anti-illicit cigarette operations this year.

Hong Kong Customs has seized about 8 million suspected illicit cigarettes in Yuen Long, with an estimated market value of about 22 million Hong Kong dollars and a taxable value of about 15 million Hong Kong dollars.
