Customs make big drug bust

Customs officers in eastern China鈥檚 coastal city of Qingdao seized 1,000 pills of smuggled modafinil, a strictly controlled substance, according to officials yesterday.

The 10 boxes of modafinil were found in inbound mail during a routine check.

Each pill weighs 200 milligrams, Customs officers said, adding that it was the first time that the Customs office seized modafinil.

Modafinil has been under strict control in China as a Class I psychotropic drug.

Mistakenly considered as a 鈥渟mart drug鈥 to improve cognitive skills and concentration, the stimulant is puffed up to raise school records in the short term.
