Amman, April 26 (Petra) -- Jordan Customs has intercepted and destroyed a large number of witchcraft-related items smuggled through postal shipments over the past six months, in what officials described as part of intensified monitoring of e-commerce parcels.

A Customs Department spokesperson said the items were concealed using deceptive methods inside packages labeled as clothing, children’s toys, or accessories to evade detection.

He added that suspicious shipments are identified through specific risk indicators and subjected to detailed inspection, leading to the discovery of the prohibited materials.

The seized items were confiscated and destroyed in accordance with legal procedures, following consultation with the General Iftaa Department.

Customs urged the public to comply with regulations and avoid importing items that violate the law or public norms, stressing that oversight of postal shipments will continue to be tightened to protect public safety.
