From the panda to the end of the SBS exploration report, today (21st) will continue the story of customs officials who call themselves guardians of the tariff border. If you bought more than $ 600 when you went abroad, you must declare it to Customs and pay the tax. You know that if you sneak in and do not, you will have to pay more taxes.

Then, the best reporter reported whether the customs officers who crack down on it would be fidelity and pay taxes.

<Reporter>

In November 2016, the so-called 'Gwan-gwan' who retired as the Customs Service Customs Officer sends a text message to Kim, the current customs officer.

[Former Customs Officer: How are you? Nothing but… ]

Speak up and forward the text you received from your friend.

The text of a friend is like this.

My daughter is traveling to Paris and will be arriving at Gimpo Airport, but I'm worried that my Chanel bag is over the limit.

When asked, Kim asks, 'Do you carry a Chanel bag or put it in your bag?'

[Kim Ban (voice band): went well. I'm not ○ I asked the captain for guidance.]

Unclean solicitation went down to the field worker, and the Chanel bag was passed without paying a tax as requested.

The public courtesy practice worked.

Neither the former customs officer nor the daughter of Lee said I could not remember the reporters.

[Former Customs Officer: (This person brings a bag from Paris, please pull it out safely.) No, no, no. For the first time I. You're talking strange, now.]

[Former Customs Acquaintance Daughter: (Have you ever been to Paris, France in June 2016?) Yes. (You don't remember (passed)?) I didn't buy a bag separately.]

Let's take an example.

The price you searched for on the Chanel homepage is 4,800 euros, which is about $ 6.5 million.

Of course, the price may vary depending on the place of purchase or conditions, but it is calculated that you will pay 2 million won when you come into Korea with this bag.

In a few letters she was exempt from tax that her daughter should have paid.

For the average traveler,

[Park Min-su / Seoul Geumcheon-gu: It takes about 30 minutes or more. Everything close to the bag, looking at things. Why is this? If you have more than 10 of the same things, are you bringing them to trade?

[Speaker (Voice Band): You want to get 100 won more from the people, but they don't care too much about it.]

There are many ways to look at customs inspection.

[Former customs officer: When a tourist enters the restroom, the customs officer enters the restroom and meets you, right? You meet with the customs officer here and give it back and forth. Then the traveler passes through the x-rays. Customs officers pass through this door. There is no X-ray here.]

Customs inspections are easily neutralized.

[Former Customs Officer: In my case, after I lived in customs, the person who reports is an idiot. As long as you have acquaintances, you can pass the expensive and pay a lot of taxes. In a word, it rots a lot.]

There was a structural problem behind the customary courtesy and self-care practices: lax customs inspection.
