Here world Clothing and shoes Xiaobian of the network introduced to you that Guangzhou Customs seized 400 million yuan of smuggled cotton.

For the biggest smuggling case in the country, professional smugglers smuggle cotton 24 thousand tons a year.

Recently, the Guangzhou customs successfully cracked a fake smuggling case involving a total of 19 suspects, and seized more than 1000 smuggled imported raw cotton, totaling more than 2.4 tons, with a value of about 410 million yuan. It is reported that this is also the largest case of smuggling of raw cotton seized by customs in recent years in general trade channels.

In the past, the "waste cotton" with less impurity and the general quality "raw cotton" were hard to distinguish by touching and naked eyes. So smugglers fake the raw cotton as a waste cotton with a lower price and a lower tax rate and smuggle it into the market. But this time, they planted.

Recently, Guangzhou The customs cracked a smuggling cotton case, and after nearly 4 months' expansion of the line, after the large-scale smuggling operation at the end of June, 19 suspects were all present. The single smuggling case caught the attention of the customs. First of all, two professional smugglers were caught by investigators.

The 3 documents are the case of cotton smuggling.

In the busy and complex field of foreign trade and economic cooperation, there are some people lurking. They are always stared at all kinds of goods with high and low price at home and abroad, and specializes in smuggling illegal activities so as to seek illegal profits. They were dubbed "professional smugglers" by customs smugglers. Tang Mou and she Mou are two typical "professional smugglers", but the two of them have "capsized" in the previous "smuggling of timber" business, which was successfully captured by the Guangzhou customs anti smuggling police. And they have also become a new source of clues.

Professional smugglers are born to smugglers. They will never do anything but a commodity business. Therefore, investigators began to screen and analyze the data of the seized cases. Indeed, it was found that Tang and she used to declare a large quantity of waste cotton at the Guangzhou port in the name of 23 domestic designated factories and imported agents.

As an important agricultural product, cotton has always been a high-risk smuggled commodity. Waste cotton and raw cotton are very similar in shape, color and handle. Less waste cotton and raw cotton can hardly be distinguished by hand touching. Is it behind the massive declaration of imported cotton waste that these "professional smugglers" are playing tricks of "turning waste" into "treasure"?

After several days of hard work, the investigators finally found 3 unattractive but unusual orders in tens of thousands of documents. The goods on the documents were not "waste cotton" but "raw cotton". A major cotton smuggling case revealed the tip of the iceberg.

The cotton smuggling gang was killed in a net

Around the clues of Tang and she people suspected of smuggling raw cotton, the Guangzhou customs anti smuggling Bureau quickly formed a "409" task force to carry out clues to touch the work. However, there is no correlation between the import and export trade information of import agents and the real shippers. Cotton enters the circulation market quickly after entering the country and is hard to verify. Anti smuggling work seems to have fallen into a "dead end".

The investigators made a resolute transformation strategy and fully investigated the peripheral situation related to the cotton trade, and finally found clues in the flow of funds. The customs fee charged by Tang was 2~3 times the cost of the normal agent imported cotton waste, and the "waste cotton" imported by its agent declared up to more than 1000 cabinets, which obviously did not conform to the market operation rule.

With the further investigation, a criminal gang that smuggled imported raw cotton to cover overseas procurement, Hongkong cleaning, tax collection and false declaration has finally surfaced.

After investigation, in the middle of 2012, Tang collected a certain, Lai, Li and others engaged in the agency import business. During the period, Tang saw the information of the imported raw cotton prices kept high in the domestic market, so he found Huang and Wang, who were engaged in the trade of cotton products in Shenzhen.

In the early morning of June 30th, with Guangzhou customs Anti smuggling Bureau Under the command of the action commander, 58 anti smuggling policemen in the 16 combat teams acted together in four locations in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Foshan. They arrested 8 suspects including the principal offender, and seized a number of important trade information.

After nearly 4 months of expanding line investigation, 19 suspects in the smuggling links such as package tax collection, false declaration, customs clearance, sale and approval, and actual delivery and delivery have all come to the case.

According to the evidence obtained, Tang Gang smuggled over 1000 tons of imported cotton from 2.4 to more than 2.4 tons from August 2012 to December 2013 with a value of about $410 million.
