Recently, the Chengdu Customs Technology Center identified all suspected ivory chopsticks seized by the Chengdu Shuangliu Airport Customs in the travel inspection channel as live ivory products.
At present, the case has been transferred to the customs anti-smuggling department for processing.
When the on-site customs officer supervised the inbound flight from Frankfurt, he found an abnormality in the machine inspection image of a passenger's baggage.
After unpacking and inspection, a large-capacity thermos cup was found in the checked luggage box, which was filled with chopsticks made of suspected ivory.
After checking, the passenger carried a total of 70 pieces of suspected ivory chopsticks weighing 1.775 kilograms. He stated that these chopsticks were souvenirs purchased overseas, and he did not know the relevant laws and regulations.
