Two cargo containers, left unclaimed by their owners at Laem Chabang deep-sea port in Chon Buri province since 2021, were discovered to contain frozen pork and beef falsely declared as frozen seafood.

 

In the first container, Thammanat stated that several white boxes were declaring the content as “cheek meat” in English. It was found to be beef cheek originating in India. Import documents declared the cargo simply as “frozen food.”

 

The second container was found to contain 26 tonnes of frozen pork from Brazil, but the cargo was declared only as “frozen food” again. Three other containers were found to contain other agricultural produce.
