The Customs Directorate has reacted regarding the toxic waste sent from the Port of Durrës to Thailand.

The Customs Directorate declares that the ships with waste did not depart from Albania, but are international transit of the zinc concentrate product from Kosovo.

According to her, the zinc concentrate originates from Kosovo and is sent by the company "Apelbaum shpk". As for the final destination, according to "Customs", the host of the waste is the company "ACHRO AG".

"Based on the disinformation that has been spreading for days in the media and is being used for political reasons and to smear the work of the Albanian Customs Administration, we clarify the following:

The case cited by the media is not an export from Albania but an international transit of the zinc concentrate product from Kosovo. So, the product is zinc concentrate originating from Kosovo with the sending/exporting company Apelbaum shpk with the address Rr. Fehmi Agani, Pristina/Kosovo; The receiving/importing company is ACHRO AG based in Steinhausen Switzerland.

The Swiss firm ACHRO AG is the orderer according to the BILL OF LOADING (B/L) of the shipping company MAERSK for the transport of this product (LOW GRADE ZINC CONCENTRATE) to the host firm GUANGXI LOGISTICS INDUSTRY INTERNATIONAL TRADE CO. LTD, NANNING, China.

Above we reiterate that:

• It is not a product originating from the Republic of Albania;

• It is not an export from Albania but an international transit between a company from Kosovo and a Swiss company without the involvement of any company from Albania.

ADSH, as in previous cases but also in this case, is exchanging intensive information as well as cooperating closely in joint investigation with OLAF (EU Anti-Fraud Office) as well as other law-enforcement bodies", the Directorate declares. of Customs./ CNA
