SINGAPORE - A Singaporean woman was fined $8,400 in court on Tuesday for illegally importing meat products from China.
In August, the Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA) had received feedback about the online sale of products such as duck, beef and chicken.
AVA officers posed as buyers to buy meat products from the seller and went on to seize 52.8kg of assorted meat products from China from her house.
Further investigations showed that she had been illegally importing and selling meat products from China online since May.
