The Korea Customs Service will strengthen its surveillance of inbound travelers in terms of customs clearance until the end of next month.

In a statement, the customs agency said it will strictly apply the customs clearance rule as the number of overseas travelers is expected to surge during the summer holiday season between late July and August.

He said those with agricultural and marine products, guns, knives and spy equipment or items that pose a national security risk should also submit a declaration to the authorities.

The declaration will also include commonly used medicines, such as anti-impotence drug Viagra, and establish clear punishment for secretly carrying such medicines.
