Woman with 90kg of viral Dubai chocolate apprehended by customs The Internet-famous chocolate bar features a crunchy mix of pistachio cream and knafeh encased in milk chocolate.
Customs officials said that the confiscated chocolate bars now have to either be re-exported or destroyed, and added that it was likely that the bars, due to the sheer number that had been imported, were meant to be sold commercially.
The chocolate bar features a crunchy mix of pistachio cream and knafeh – a crispy filo dough used in the dessert baklava – encased in milk chocolate.
German customs officials seized 90kg of the Internet famous Dubai chocolate last month from a woman at Hamburg airport, who is now on the line for hundreds of euros in import duties.
The officials did not state which brand the chocolate bars were from, but said the confiscated bars were valued at a total of around €2,100 (£1,759).
