Revenue seized €1 million worth of tobacco and cigarettes in Dublin Port on Thursday evening.
Officers at the Port seized 1.4 tonnes of processed tobacco that had arrived into the port in a shipment from China.
The tobacco alone had a retail value of over €815,000, representing a loss to the Exchequer of €721,000.
'MB Blue' and 'Benson & Hedges' cigarettes with a retail value of €234,000 were also seized.
This followed on from a seizure earlier in September of 432,000 cigarettes in Dublin Port.
Investigations are ongoing as Revenue continues to target the shadow economy and the supply and sale of illegal tobacco products.
If businesses or members of the public have any further information they can contact Revenue in confidence on free phone number 1800 295 295.
