Customs administrations throughout the country imposed mandatory measures on 4,289 suspects related to these smuggling cases.

China Customs has acquired bigger gains through the national campaign codenamed “Green Wind” to fight against the smuggling of agricultural products.

In November, Zhanjiang, Dalian, Gongbei, Tianjin and Huangpu Customs Districts made big seizures of smuggled frozen products, cotton and leather.
While fighting strongly against the smuggling of agricultural products, China Customs continues to maintain a tough stance on the smuggling of key dutiable items, drugs, weapons and ammunitions, overseas wastes and endangered species. From January to November of 2014，China Customs filed for investigation 1,191 criminal smuggling cases of dutiable items which involved an evaded revenue of RMB 12.27billion, a year-on-year increase of 23.9% and 54.5% respectively. Among them, 169 were those big cases with the evaded revenue exceeding RMB 10 million, jumped by 120%. Customs officers also cracked 967 criminal smuggling cases of those non-dutiable items, up 0.2%, among them, 443 were drug trafficking cases in which 4.32 tons of drugs were seized, 109 were smuggling cases of weapons and ammunitions in which 337 guns and 50,000 bullets were seized, and 96 were waste smuggling cases in which 178,000 tons of overseas waste (whose import is forbidden) were seized, for example, E-wastes and discarded slag. What’s more, Customs administrations throughout the country carried out a special operation codenamed “Guardian” and intercepted 183 cases involving the smuggling of Red Sandalwood, ivory, Saiga Horn and some other precious species and their products.
According to Mr. Zhang Guangzhi, the spokesman of the General Administration of Customs, Customs administrations throughout the country were asked by its headquarters to mount another special operation to fight forcefully against the smuggling of beef. Zhang also said that China Customs would intensify efforts on cracking down on the smuggling of agricultural products and drugs. The national campaign codenamed “Guardian” to stop the smuggling of endangered species and their products would be taken a step further. What’s more, working with local governments and relevant departments, Customs officers will spear no efforts to fight against the smuggling through secret transportation along the border areas and the circulation of smuggled goods. Through all these efforts, China Customs tries to stop with force all the smuggling activities that will be a treat to the national economic, political, cultural, social and biological safety and security.
