Undervaluing a TON of human hair imported from India
CUSTOMS at Sao Paulo's international airport recently impounded a cargo containing a ton of human hair from India.
The importer had declared the cargo - long pony tails held together with elastic bands and packed into boxes valued at just USD15,000 (4,600 euros). However, during inspection it turned out that the true value is USD 400,000.
The Customs spokesman urged consumers of this type of product to always ensure that the supplier respects National Sanitary Surveillance Agency requirements on sterilizing and disinfecting imported hair.
Even our hair is undervalued these days!
By the way, from which port did the hair leave the shores of India?
