Not long ago, a lady was seized by the officer for smuggling into China. At present, this case has been handed over to the anti-smuggling department of customs for further inspection.
On April 3rd, a lady was chosen to be inspected by the customs officer. She was very cooperative and took the initiative to show the shampoo and baby milk powder in her shopping bag to the customs officer. She said that she only went to “Chung Ying Street” to buy daily supplies.

At this time, for picking up the child from school, she hoped that the customs officer could directly check and release her.
When the officer finished checking the shopping bag and asked her whether carried other items or not, her eyes were erratic and hesitate to answer the questions. Suddenly, the officer realized that she was involved in smuggling.
