Face masks found in containers at port have legal documents for export, say officials
The Port Authority of Thailand reported on Tuesday (March 17) that four containers filled with face masks in Laem Chabang Port for export to the United States had legal documents.
Customs officers on Monday were sent to inspect the containers following rumours that face masks were being hoarded at the port for sale to overseas markets.
The officers found four containers with 3.2 million units of face masks inside worth Bt5.1 million and they belonged to Emerald Nonwovens International Co Ltd.
However, the company was legally permitted to export and the number of face masks was in line with a declaration which showed no evidence of hoarding of the product.
