LLamado v.

Collector of Customs
122 SCRA 118
Facts: A Cessna plane containing de gaza lamps was unloaded at the Alabat airstrip. Later that night, that, a motorized boat
carrying Fortune Blue Seal Cigarettes unloaded the goods and was later loaded in a DC-3 plane. The DC-3 plane took off using
the de gaza lamps as a guide to safety take off from the airstrip. A few days after, a warrant was issued for seizure and
detention of the Cessna Plane. Petitioners argue that the Cessna was not used to transport the contraband goods but only bring
the de gaza lamps.

Issue: W/N the Cessna plane was used in the unlawful importation of cigagrtes within the meaning of Section 2530 of the TCC
which provides that

Held/Ratio: Petition Dismissed. It is not necessary that the vessel or aircraft mist itself carry the contraband. There is nothing in
the law that requires. In the case at bar, it is undeniable that the Cessna plane was deliberately used to ensure the DC-3 plane
take off without peril and transport the goods to Pampanga.
