The Singapore Customs is investigating a case where a man entering Singapore did not declare that he was in possession of assorted Pokemon trading cards worth more than $30,000 in total.

The Immigrations and Checkpoints Authority said in a Facebook post on Oct 14 that its officers at Changi Airport had detected a large quantity of assorted Pokemon trading cards while screening baggage on Oct 10.

A 25-year-old Singaporean man had been directed to the baggage screening area in Terminal 1 for screening, ICA said. When questioned by ICA officers, the man said he had nothing in his luggage to declare.

ICA officers then screened the man’s luggage and found assorted Pokemon trading cards worth more than $30,000 in total.

The case was then referred to the Singapore Customs for further investigation, ICA said.
