Customs Officers Han Sehee and Kim Bokyung conducted X-ray inspections and utilized scientific equipment at the second narcotics inspection checkpoint, which has been fully operational since last month, and detected approximately 1.1 kilograms of narcotics. They were recognized for proving the effectiveness of the dual inspection system—linking the first checkpoint at the seaport/airport with the second checkpoint inland—raising awareness that all attempts to smuggle narcotics through international mail will inevitably be detected, and for preemptively deterring potential smuggling attempts.

Awards were also given to distinguished employees in each work sector. In the passenger customs clearance sector, Customs Officer Han Yujin was selected for identifying smuggling trends due to the rising international price of silver and for detecting a silver granule smuggling ring through information analysis and systematization of inspection procedures.

In the investigation sector, Customs Officer Park Jaeyoon was recognized for expanding and deepening the investigation into a silver smuggling case, resulting in the arrest and transfer of nine individuals who smuggled 567 kilograms of silver granules (worth approximately 3.4 billion won). In the narcotics control sector, Customs Officer Kim Hunhee was selected for detecting 1.43 kilograms of methamphetamine concealed in a body cavity using millimeter-wave screening techniques.

Additionally, Customs Officer Baek Haphwa was selected as the Outstanding Employee of the Month for May for meticulously analyzing suspicious patterns and risk factors among travelers, which led to the detection of a total of 5,075 grams of methamphetamine.

Incheon Airport Customs Headquarters stated that it will continue to recognize and reward staff members who demonstrate outstanding capabilities in customs administration and contribute to the organization’s development through proactive work.
