More than five million cigarettes have been seized by HMRC in Co Armagh.
HM Revenue and Customs officers attended premises in Lurgan on Tuesday and found no UK duty had been paid on 5.2 million tobacco products.
They are all believed to illicit.
That equates to VAT evasion of around £2m.
Steve Tracey, Assistant Director, Fraud Investigation Service, HMRC, said: “The sale of illegal tobacco will not be tolerated by us or our partner agencies.
"Disrupting criminal trade is at the heart of our strategy to clampdown on the illicit tobacco market, which costs the UK around £1.9 billion a year. This is theft from the taxpayer and undermines legitimate traders.
“We encourage anyone with information about the illegal sale of tobacco to report it online or call the Fraud Hotline on 0800 788 887.”
"Enquiries are continuing."
