Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, May 30) — Authorities seized a shipment from Fujian, China that contained 180 kilograms of unregistered Chinese medicine worth ₱700,000 at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport, the Customs bureau said on Saturday.
In a statement, the agency said the operation happened on May 28. The Chinese medicines were declared as vitamins and consigned to a male person from Muntinlupa City. The shipment lacked documents from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The FDA released Advisory No. 2020-767 on May 6 that warned the public against the purchase and use of unregistered drugs from China.
