There are only more than 30 days left in 2020. Christmas and New Year's Day are coming one after another ... to celebrate the New Year, fireworks and firecrackers have naturally become the "darlings". At present, the sales of fireworks and firecrackers at home and abroad are in the peak season. Smuggling for profit, so this foreshadows the peak of misrepresentation!

In recent months, Sohang.com has frequently reported that shipping companies and customs have punished the news for concealing and misreporting various dangerous goods. However, the concealment of dangerous goods has been repeatedly banned!

According to the latest news of Souhang.com, another firework and firecracker concealment case just happened! 935 boxes of fireworks and firecrackers "turned into shape" into mugs, plastic brushes ...

On November 22, Beilun Customs, affiliated to Ningbo Customs, seized another case of false reporting of fireworks and firecrackers in the export shipping channel, and seized 935 cases of fireworks and firecrackers weighing about 22.6 tons, which are flammable and explosive dangerous goods.

It is reported that the declared names of the batch of goods are very common and common names such as mugs, plastic brushes, etc. However, customs inspection found that the entire container was actually fireworks!

Dangerous goods concealed again: 22.6 tons! firecrackers!

At present, the batch of fireworks and firecrackers has been transferred and sealed, pending further investigation and processing.

Fireworks and firecrackers are flammable and explosive dangerous goods, which have high requirements for storage and transportation conditions. The export of fireworks and firecrackers in violation of regulations by means of storage, false reporting, etc., and the lack of corresponding safety measures will bring great security risks.

The risk of concealing the import and export of dangerous goods is extremely high, especially for a class of dangerous goods such as fireworks and firecrackers. The 22.6 tons of fireworks and firecrackers will be detonated if an accident occurs in the port warehouse or on a container ship during transportation by trailer. I ca n’t imagine the consequences!

Once the dangerous goods are concealed, misreported or missed, the companies involved will not only face huge fines, but they will also be held criminally responsible. Shippers, freight forwarders, customs brokers and other related companies will be implicated. It can be described as harming others!

Speaking of Beilun Customs, which belongs to Ningbo Customs, I believe everyone is familiar with it. This year, the customs frequently seized falsely reported fireworks and firecrackers:

1. On September 17, Ningbo Customs seized a batch of falsely reported firework and firecracker export containers at Beilunyong and Container Terminals, weighing about 22 tons, which are flammable and explosive dangerous goods.

2. On August 14, Beilun Customs, affiliated to Ningbo Customs, seized a batch of false newspapers and concealed fireworks and firecrackers weighing about 117.2 tons in export shipping channels.

You read that right, it was 117.2 tons! This power acts as N "grenades."


It is reported that the declarations of these goods are called "iron drying racks", etc. During inspection, the customs officers found that a small amount of declaration goods were placed at the door of the container for concealment, all of which were simply packed in cardboard boxes without any protective measures. Firecrackers.

...

So once again, I would like to remind all cargo and freight forwarders that safety and sustainable development are the most important. There is nothing more important than the future and human life. Don't take risks for small profits!
