A Personal truck registration number UAF 608C was also found carrying imported Diapers that had no Certificate of Conformity.

The owners of the impounded vehicles will be required to take necessary measures to comply with the relevant regulations before their vehicles can be released.

UNBS calls upon manufacturers to ensure that products comply with the requirements of the standards set by UNBS.
