(MENAFN- Newsroom Panama) Officials from the National Customs Authority detained a new shipment of purple and yellow onions, allegedly illegally imported into the country, at the San Isidro border checkpoint in the province of Chiriquí. The product was being transported in a truck with Panamanian license plates, without the required documentation or compliance with COPANIT standards, which regulate the labeling and traceability of agricultural products. This situation raised suspicions about a possible case of smuggling. Customs inspectors proceeded to seize the shipment and transport it to Customs headquarters in the city of David, where an investigation will begin to determine its origin and legality.
