Despite these efforts, drug traffickers continually adapt their methods to evade detection. They use techniques like concealment in legitimate goods, false compartments in vehicles, and even human carriers (also known as drug mules). To combat this, customs agencies continually update their strategies, employ intelligence-driven approaches, and invest in training their personnel.
