Customs seize 50kg of hair at Moscow airport

A stylist traveling from Dubai failed to declare the goods upon arrival

Customs officials at Domodedovo Airport in Moscow have confiscated 110lbs (about 50 kg) of human hair worth nearly $70,000 from the luggage of a foreign passenger arriving from Dubai.

The 37-year-old man passed through the airport’s ‘green’ corridor, reserved for passengers with no items to declare, but was flagged during a baggage inspection, according to the customs’ press service.
