Recently, during a joint inspection by Caofeidian Customs under Shijiazhuang Customs and Tangshan Customs Anti Smuggling Branch, it was discovered that a crew member of an inbound vessel attempted to hide two paper packaging boxes in woven bags and bring them into the country without declaration. After boarding the ship for questioning and on-site inspection, 88 cigarettes totaling 11600 were seized in the packaging box. At present, the case has been transferred to the anti smuggling department for handling.
