Bulgarian customs officers at Kapitan Andreevo checkpoint on the border with Turkey detained 5,280 pair of contraband men's socks during a check Sunday.
Officers made a routine check on a van traveling from Turkey to Poland.
Along the 400 parcels of declared goods, officers found 22 undeclared plastic bags each containing 240 pairs of men's socks.
A ticket has been issued to the driver.
Customs officers have commented that smugglers have started attempting to traffic fall clothing, but the shipping of socks might have been a try to test the alertness officers during the time of heavy summer holiday traffic.
