Smoking is harmful to smuggling: a traveler wanted to enter 4,600 Panamanian cigars in his suitcases
And this Sunday the news from the air station was another “artisanal” smuggling procedure, obviously unsuccessful, otherwise we would not be commenting on the issue, with a Customs-AFIP control that discovered that a passenger from Peru wanted to bring 300 original soccer jerseys into the country, mostly from the Argentine National Team, but there were also some from Brazil, Poland, and even Barcelona.
