The illegal drugs arrived from Germany and were discovered after BOC personnel conducted an X-ray scanning and K-9 sniff test. Field testing by PDEA confirmed the presence of methylenedioxymethamphetamine, classified as a dangerous drug under R.A. No. 9165, as amended.
A Warrant of Seizure and Detention was issued for the shipment for violations of Section 118(g), Section 119(d), and Section 1113 paragraphs f, i, and l (3 and 4) of R.A. No. 10863, or the Customs Modernization and Tariff Act (CMTA), in relation to R.A. No. 9165. Commissioner Bienvenido Y.
