The General Directorate of Customs is organizing a public auction at Toamasina-Port starting Monday, August 10, 2026, from 8 a.m. Conducted through sealed bid offers, this operation concerns various goods stored in the port's customs warehouses, including vehicles, electronic equipment, and other items. To participate or learn details about the lots offered, potential buyers are invited to consult the list of merchandise, reserve prices, and terms and conditions posted in all customs offices nationwide and accessible on the administration's official portal (www.douanes.gov.mg). The General Directorate of Customs urges vigilance against the proliferation of online scams. It reminds that under current regulations, public auction advertising is conducted exclusively through legal regulatory channels and traditional media. It categorically states that it does not use Facebook to announce or manage its public auctions. This clarification comes as numerous fraudulent pages misuse fake administrative logos on social networks to deceive unsuspecting users by promising seized vehicles or merchandise at discounted prices. The administration urges users to exercise extreme caution and refer only to official channels. Miangaly Ralitera
