Customs officers in Austria have seized over three tonnes of Indian oral jelly used to treat erectile dysfunction.

The 45,000 packages of Kamagra Oral Jelly intended to boost European men’s libido were loaded in 150 carton boxes when Vienna Airport customs found them last month.

The medication produced by India’s pharmaceutical giant named Ajanta Pharma Limited reportedly comes in the form of a jelly that dissolves in the consumer’s mouth.

It is reportedly sold to treat erectile dysfunction and boost sexual performance.

Austria’s Ministry of Finance reported that the poorly packaged shipment immediately caught customs officers’ attention due to its shady appearance.

The ministry said in a statement obtained by Newsflash: “During the course of the inspection, the team noticed a conspicuous shipment, which had been delivered from India, and via Frankfurt (Germany)to Vienna by truck.”

“It was waiting in the bonded warehouse for further delivery to a forwarding agent in Greece.”

But when authorities opened the three-tonne-heavy boxes, they were shocked to find a total of 45,000 packages of the sexual enhancer.

The ministry added: “Due to the lack of the necessary import certificate, the delivery was temporarily confiscated and a report was made to the responsible district administration authority.

“What happens next . . is now decided by the responsible district administrative authority.”

The Medicinal Products Importation Act (AWEG) stipulates a EUR 3,600 (GBP 3,169) fine for such offences, and a maximum penalty of EUR 7,200 (GBP 6,339) if the offence is repeated.
