Suradej Trongsirivibool, the customs chief at Laem Chabang deep-sea port, said that the 126 tonnes of sulfuric, worth 12.6 million baht and which were in transit, have been impounded because the importer could not produce the required documentation concerning the transit of dangerous goods.

 

Jullapong Thaveesri, director-general of the Industrial Works Department, said today (Tuesday) that the dangerous chemical was shipped from India to Myanmar via Thailand.

 

He added that the importer must seek permission from his department for the import of dangerous chemicals, to prevent them from being used as precursors in the production of illegal narcotics.

I used to have a licence to do Hazard goods shipping - Days course and exam at Heathrow, job done.

 

Losing a 12 million baht shipment for the cost of a days course (cheaper probably here) is crazy

Sincerely hope after impounding it does not end up in the local markets, for the sake of all the pretty girls possibly at risk from jealous boyfriends / ex-husbands, etc.!

Beside drugs, any legitimate use of this acid?

Plenty of industrial uses. It isn't that it can't have legitimate uses in that quantity.
