Operation Deep Manifest

The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) has seized 39 containers carrying 1,115 metric tonnes of Pakistani goods.

Post Pahalgam terrorist attack, with effect from May, 2025, India completely banned imports from Pakistan. Still, efforts made to send these goods through third countries, mainly Dubai.

To target this illegal import, DRI launched ‘Operation Deep Manifest.’

The operation has thus far led to seizure of goods valued at approximately ₹9 crore. Previously, such goods were subject to 200 per cent customs duty.

Despite these stringent measures, some importers attempt to bypass government policy by mis-declaring the origin of goods and manipulating related shipping documents,
