China News Service, Qingdao, February 1 (Reporter Hu Yaojie) Qingdao Customs announced on the 1st that under the unified command of the Anti-smuggling Bureau of the General Administration of Customs, the Anti-smuggling Bureau of Qingdao Customs and the Anti-smuggling Bureau of Kunming and Zhengzhou Customs launched a special operation against human smuggling. , A total of 34 criminal suspects were arrested, 10 smuggling gangs were eliminated, and the total value of the case reached more than 1 billion yuan (RMB, the same below).

  Not long ago, Qingdao Customs found in market research that the import and export data of distribution centers engaged in the processing of hair products in the customs area were abnormal.

After investigation, the anti-smuggling department of Qingdao Customs determined that some merchants and individuals engaged in human distribution, purchase, sale and processing were suspected of smuggling people into the country through the border.

At this time, the handover clues from the Kunming Customs Anti-Smuggling Bureau showed that there was a smuggling group on the border between China and Myanmar and closely connected with the personnel in Shandong Province, which confirmed the judgment of the investigators.

  After preliminary research and judgment, the smuggling gangs in Qingdao and Kunming are cross-linked, and the scale of smuggling is very large. The Anti-smuggling Bureau of the General Administration of Customs dispatched and conducted detailed investigations. The Anti-smuggling Bureau of Zhengzhou Customs also found out that there were illegal merchants and individuals in the jurisdiction. Border smugglers sent in.

  In the early morning of January 20, under the unified command of the Anti-smuggling Bureau of the General Administration of Customs, the Qingdao Customs Anti-smuggling Bureau, Kunming Customs Anti-smuggling Bureau, and Zhengzhou Customs Anti-smuggling Bureau dispatched a total of more than 150 police forces, divided into 20 operation groups, in Shandong, Yunnan, Henan, etc. Concentrated operations in many places, a total of 34 criminal suspects were arrested, and a batch of documentary evidence and electronic evidence were seized on the spot.

  The Qingdao Customs investigation officers found at the scene that the persons involved classified the human hair smuggled into the country according to the length. Taking the 16-inch human hair as an example, the smugglers smuggled into the country through the border and evaded more than 220,000 yuan in taxes per ton.

The above-mentioned gang smuggled on a huge scale and was suspected of smuggling ordinary goods.

  According to the relevant person in charge of the Qingdao Customs Anti-smuggling Bureau, the trade of hair products is a relatively distinctive category in the global trade of light industrial products.

In recent years, the use of hair products has expanded from medical and professional wear to the field of personal fashion, and some criminals have smuggled and sent them privately through customs.

It is now ascertained that a smuggling group headed by Cao Moumou in Heze, Shandong Province, in order to evade the tax payable, after ordering the goods in Myanmar, they smuggled the goods from the China-Myanmar border by bypassing customs and smuggling into the country. , And then sent to Shandong, Henan, Anhui and other places through domestic logistics to sell for profit, with a total value of more than 1 billion yuan.

Currently, the case is under further investigation.
