SHENZHEN Customs has applied big data, 5G and robotics to expose phone smugglers involving 560 million yuan (US$86.61 million). These smugglers would have evaded taxes amounting to 65 million yuan, customs data showed.

Shenzhen Customs has set up a database of high-risk personnel and vehicles, and deployed technology to precisely check target suspects.

Between January and August, Shenzhen Customs seized smuggled items worth 720 million yuan in four campaign rounds.

Due to COVID-19 which forced closures of most border checkpoints with Hong Kong, smugglers who had used parallel traders to carry goods through the checkpoints turned to other channels such as cross-border trucks, mails and parcels, or even drones to smuggle products and items into the city.

On Aug. 18, during scanning at the Shenzhen Customs Mails and Parcels Inspection Center, one parcel from a large batch of overseas ones caught the officers’ attention and was later confirmed to contain 6,000 SIM cards, one of the common items shipped by smugglers.

Shenzhen Customs also was able to identify suspected luggage through information sharing with airline companies and Shenzhen Bao’an International Airport. It implemented categorized and graded management in Zhongying Street, which borders Shenzhen and Hong Kong, to locate high-value smuggled goods, cracking 1,138 cases between January and August.

In cracking down on smuggling via cross-border trucks, Shenzhen Bay Customs caught a driver carrying 135 grams of diamonds at Shenzhen Bay Checkpoint on May 25. On July 22, Huanggang Customs seized a batch of cosmetic products that had been declared as plastic granules.
