Hong Kong customs officers have seized a large shipment of African ivory hidden in a container that arrived by sea from Malaysia.
Hong Kong officials said yesterday that officers found 794 pieces of ivory tusks estimated to be worth 13 million Hong Kong dollars (US$1.6 million).
The officers found the tusks, which were hidden by stones, on Monday after deciding to examine the shipment, which the officials said was labeled "nonferrous products for factory use."
The container arrived from Malaysia, but the officials did not say where it originated from. A 66-year-old man was arrested and officials are investigating.
