Hengqin Customs investigates two cases of passengers smuggling silver particles into the country

On March 11th, Hengqin Customs under Gongbei Customs successively seized two cases of passengers carrying silver particles into the country, with a total of 8 kilograms of silver particles seized.

At around 13:05 on the same day, customs officers were conducting supervision work at the Hengqin Port Inspection Hall when they discovered that a passenger entering through the "green channel" had abnormal gait, and immediately intercepted and inspected him. After further inspection, customs officers found 4 bags of silver particles packaged in plastic bags inside the black socks on the inner side of his ankle and in the pockets of his jacket and jacket. Following closely behind was another man who also caught the attention of the customs officers due to his nervous expression. After inspection, four packages of silver particles were found in his waist and abdomen. After professional appraisal, the purity of this batch of silver particles has been determined to be pure silver, with a total weight of 8 kilograms.

Customs reminder: According to relevant regulations, evading customs supervision by hiding and carrying items that should be taxed according to law into the country is considered smuggling behavior. If the circumstances are serious enough to constitute a crime, criminal responsibility will be pursued in accordance with the law. (Written by Shi Linling)
