Seizures were made as part of agencies’ Strategic Trade Control Enforcement (STCE) mandate The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI), the Customs and domain experts recently carried out two crucial seizures of items possibly linked to missile, says the Smuggling In India Report 2019-20 of the DRI. In the first case, an inter-agency coordination led to the interception of a consignment of chemical that could be used as missile propellant. The dual use chemical, wrongly declared as harmless, was transiting through India while being transported between two foreign countries. As the chemical was notified in the Special Chemicals, Organisms, Materials, Equipment and Technology (SCOMET) list of the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, the consignment was seized under the relevant provisions of the Customs Act and the Weapons of Mass Destruction and their Delivery Systems (Prohibition of Unlawful Activities) Act.
