Supervised by the Illegal Trade Eradication Steering Committee, inspection teams under the state and regional illegal trade eradication special task forces, together with one-stop services from respective departments, consistently and effectively crack down on illegal trade. These efforts take place at border trade offices and stations, permanent checkpoints along land and sea trade routes, and ports and airports. Information is crucial to these operations.

In April 2025, responsible citizens submitted 101 reports, of which five were inaccurate and four were late, leading to 92 successful arrests. A total of 207 cases involved the seizure of illegal goods, including timber, industrial products, consumer goods, and foodstuffs, with an estimated value of K10,592.854 million. In addition, vessels, vehicles, fishing boats, and unregistered vehicles and motorbikes were also confiscated.

Those who provided information leading to seizures will receive twenty per cent of the estimated value of the seized items (K2,118.57 million) as rewards.

Responsible citizens can report illegal trade by contacting the following phone numbers: 09-404-339-969, 067-409-883, or by emailing antiillegaltradeinfo@gmail.com.
