	question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Young of Cookham on 25 April, what was the value of stock belonging to third parties seized from 14 fulfilment houses by HMRC; whether that stock has been, or will be, destroyed; and if not, what they intend to do with that stock.
	tabling member printed	Lord Lucas
	uin	HL15397
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2019 answer text <p>HMRC does not record the values of goods seized from fulfilment houses. Goods have been seized where HMRC believes customs obligations have been contravened. This includes the inability of the fulfilment house to link the goods to an import declaration made to HMRC. Without this link, the value of the goods declared at import is unknown. HMRC will destroy all seized goods after an appropriate period of time has elapsed, unless the importer of the goods can demonstrate it is compliant.</p> answering member printed Lord Young of Cookham question first answered 13/05/2019 16:21:04 answering member 57 label Biography information for Lord Young of Cookham
