The Customs Department is cancelling reward money for its executives from seizures of smuggled goods and imports that violate tariffs to prevent conflicts of interest, says director-general Phantong Loykulnanta.

The Ministry of Finance has finished the draft of the amended regulations on rewards to executives. The legislation will take effect immediately after publication in the Royal Gazette.
