Customs reviewing this as a significant seizure at a Norwegian airport.
The man had with 54.6 kg dried khat on a flight from the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa via Copenhagen to Oslo, where he arrived on Wednesday night.
He also had 126 grams of fresh khat. Police have imposed 35-year-old a fine of 15,000 crowns for smuggling.
Customs overview of seizures in 2014 shows that the number of kilograms of seized khat has dropped sharply, from over 13.5 tons in 2013 to just over 7, 5 tons last year. The decline is probably related to that khat is banned in both the Netherlands and the UK, which has been the main transit countries for khat smugglers.
