Estimates show that about 11,600 tons of illegal bush meat were smuggled into Britain during 2003, mostly through luggage. The number of seizures of such illegal imports has more than doubled from 7,819 tons in the year ending April 2003 to 15,838 tons for the year ending April 2004. However, that represents less than 1% of the government's estimate of the illegal meat trade.
