Guangzhou Customs cracked 1.355 billion yuan fruit smuggling case.

  Recently, the Anti-smuggling Bureau of Guangzhou Customs, with the assistance of the Anti-smuggling Bureaus of Huangpu, Jiangmen, Kunming and Nanning, launched the "Fighting 28" special campaign to crack down on the smuggling of imported fruits, successfully destroyed three smuggling criminal gangs and arrested 12 suspects, involving a case value of about 1.355 billion yuan.

  The smuggling gang involved in the case has been purchasing mangosteen, longan, durian and other fruits of Thai origin overseas for a long time in the name of a company in Guangzhou, and after transporting them to the borders of Guangxi and Yunnan, the local smuggling gang responsible for customs clearance declared imports through border small-scale trade and general trade by falsely reporting the origin and underreporting the price, and sold them to Guangzhou and other places for profit. In addition, it was found that smuggling gangs smuggled fruits in the border market under the guise of "border residents".

  At present, the case is under further investigation. Guangzhou Customs will resolutely implement the deployment of the special action of "National Sword 2020" of the General Administration of Customs, and resolutely crack down on smuggling crimes by relying on the working mechanism of "smuggling by all staff" to safeguard the "safety at the table" of ordinary people.
