Caviar and orchids


It seems Christmas is the time of year for CITES violations to come to light.  It is now the turn of caviar some of which is covered by the CITES convention.   However, it was not discovered ready to eat – it was found in face cream!   

And the rare orchid?   No, not for exotic flower arranging but an ingredient in bodybuilding supplements. 

 All intercepted and seized by HMRC (UK Customs) on the way into the UK.
