Cans are sandwiched in log cargo

Yesterday, the Herald reporter learned from Xiamen Customs that Xiamen Customs, which is subordinate to Haicang Customs, seized 18,720 cans of canned tuna hidden in import logs, of which 1,656 cans were damaged. This is the first time that Xiamen Customs has seized canned fish in imported logs.

Recently, a certain company in Xiamen declared to Haicang Customs to import a batch of rain tree logs. When the customs officer inspected the scene, he found that in addition to several pieces of logs in the container, a large number of cartons were also placed in a mess, most of which were wet and damaged, and the canned goods in the boxes were scattered on the ground. The manager confirmed that the goods contained in the box were all canned tuna, totaling 18,720 cans. At present, the case has been transferred to follow-up disposal.

According to customs personnel, the batch of canned fish imported by the batch has not been inspected by the customs, and there are great food safety risks. At the same time, messy packaging and a dirty and unclean environment are also easy to cause food pollution and threaten the health of the people. Customs reminds enterprises to import legal and compliant food through formal channels, and truthfully declare to the customs and accept inspection and inspection in the import process. For evading customs supervision by means of false reporting, the customs will deal with it severely in accordance with the law, and those that constitute food smuggling crimes will be handed over to the judicial organs for handling.
