Hong Kong customs officers have arrested two workers at a dispensary in the Tsim Sha Tsui shopping and tourist district for allegedly using misleading price tags, with customers paying 16 times more than expected for American ginseng.
The pair, aged 54 and 58, from Tung Yan Medicine Company on Peking Road, were arrested on Thursday in connection with misleading omissions on a price tag when they charged an undercover customs officer HK$15,680 , rather than HK$980, for American ginseng.
