Thousands of cigarettes and more than 160 litres of alcohol were found by Revenue officers in Dublin Port.
The find happened last Friday, when 6,600 cigarettes and 165 litres of alcohol were in a vehicle arriving from Romania via Holyhead.
The cigarettes and alcohol had a retail value of €9,354 and represented a potential loss to the Exchequer of €6,588.
