Six tons of counterfeit and expired good are seized by the authorities at Nimule border point every month.
National Bureau of Standards head of Nimule station Jacob Matiop told Radio Emmanuel that frozen chickens, milk and maize flour were among seized goods.
He specified that recently over 4,000 cartons of frozen chickens, 3,000 cartons of expired powdered milk and 500 cartons of fake dry cells were impounded at the border with Uganda.
Mr Matiop said he was worried that large quantities of counterfeit and dangerous goods could be smuggled into the country.
He noted that officers cannot match unscrupulous importers due to lack of modern detecting equipments to screen goods loaded in heavy trucks.
Mr Matiop said the National Bureau of Standards intercepts on average about six tones of counterfeit and expired goods every month at Nimule entry point.
He complained that the laws were weak and penalties light on sale and transportation of counterfeit and expired commodities.
Mr Matiop tasked consumers to take decisive steps to examine goods before buying them to safeguard their health.
Nimule payam authority last month collected over two trucks of expired goods on sale in various shops in the border town.
