Police have confiscated 30,000 pairs of elephant-patterned trousers from a warehouse in Bang Khuntien district of Bangkok.
The Economic Crime Suppression Division (ECD) inspected the warehouse on Sunday and seized 30,000 pairs of trousers worth at least 6 million baht as all were brought into the country without import tax payments.
The clothing was ready to be distributed or sold on online platforms to customers, the ECD said.
The ECD said police will order people in connection with the seized items to show evidence that import taxes had been paid or they would be charged.
Last month, Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin was unhappy about the influx of the same trousers made in China into Thai markets as they could violate copyright. The Commerce Ministry later threatened to ban the Chinese clothing imports.
