In the early hours of that day, the customs authorities of guangzhou reported that they had destroyed a smuggling ring that had smuggled high-value car parts into the country, using the usual trade to understate prices and falsely announce personal mail items. Nine suspects had been arrested and the car parts involved seized on site, with an initial assessment of the value of rmb 1. 67 billion (kmb, same)。
The guangzhou customs, which explores new ways of “intelligence detection” using information intelligence techniques and large data analysis, compares hundreds of thousands of pieces of information and reveals that, since 2012, a number of companies, such as zhu chiu and zhang, have been operating under the control of groups led by smugglers, who are suspected of having smuggled into the country by modifying the true price of invoices and purchasing spare parts for high-value car brands, such as luo and volvo, outside the country。
In addition, the smuggling group is suspected of being using international mail channels to falsely declare the vehicle parts purchased abroad as personal belongings and to have been smuggled into the country by means of an “ant move” in order to evade customs control。
According to private investigators, the smuggling group understated the price of car parts from 10 to 40 per cent. The company in question obtained a high level of illicit profits by importing understated prices and selling them at market prices。
The difference between the group's online sales offer and its declared prices to customs varies from one to eight times. For example, one of the items, vehicle parts called the “brakes pipeline”, was used as evidence of smuggling, with an online offer of $900, while smuggling groups declared a price of $111. 59 to customs, which was more than eight times the declared price。
The case is currently being further investigated。
