As a traditional material for mahogany furniture, rosewood and other mahogany varieties are favored, and its price has risen in recent years. Since some rosewood varieties are protected by the International Trade Convention for Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, import and export must apply for relevant certificates to the endangered management department. Criminals smuggle in through camouflage and storage in order to make huge profits.
A. Rosewood Sandalwood Rosewood
Cai has been the main agent of the import customs clearance business of red sandalwood since 2011. He found that the sale of red sandalwood is quite profitable. The purchase price of red sandalwood in foreign countries is less than 100,000 yuan per ton, and in the domestic market, it can be sold for several hundred thousand yuan or even one million yuan. So, Cai began to look for red sandalwood sellers online, intending to import and sell. Soon, Cai met an Indian K online.
When the two met in Hong Kong, K told Cai that he was responsible for organizing the supply of goods overseas, and asked Cai to arrange employee declarations based on the data of origin certificate, foreign inspection and quarantine certificate, cargo list invoice, bill of lading and other information provided by him.
On May 15, 2013, Quanzhou Customs Office in Jinjiang, a subsidiary of Xiamen Customs, received a declaration from Xiamen Puwei Import and Export Trade Co., Ltd. to import two containers of timber named "Rosewood Log / Pterocarpus (Qinglong Wood)". Dubai. Redwood lumber is generally sold to Putian Xianyou, which is the country's largest high-end mahogany furniture production base. It should be imported from Putian port, but the goods are imported through Jinjiang Weitou port, and then shipped to Putian for sale. Such a move away from each other made the inspector doubtful.
The inspector opened the two containers of the goods and found that a large number of red-brown logs were neatly stacked in the box, but the appearance and color of these woods were almost indistinguishable to the naked eye, and even experts could not determine the type of wood. For the sake of prudence, the customs decided to first sample and send it to a professional agency for identification, and at the same time notify the anti-smuggling police to carry out a covert investigation on the consignor.
The investigation of the anti-smuggling police in the case found that the company's head Caimou rented a timber warehouse in Jinjing Town, Jinjiang, his hometown, only ten kilometers away from the Weitou Port. Cai has sold sandalwood and red sandalwood in stores and on the internet many times. However, there is no sandalwood red sandalwood among the types of goods declared by Cai.
Since the customs detained the wood, Cai was restless. He bought a ticket and hurried to Jinjiang Airport, preparing to go out to avoid the wind. However, what was waiting for him at the airport was the anti-smuggling police officer of the Shishi Branch of Xiamen Customs Anti-smuggling Bureau.
After appraisal and confirmation, Cai Mou declared that the two containers of "Rosewood Log / Pterocarpus (Qinglong)" had a total of 37 tons of wood, with 27.8 tons of sandalwood red sandalwood hidden, with a total value of 13.36 million yuan.
B. The rosewood declaration name turned out to be a "towel"
In the two mahogany smuggling cases detected by Xiamen Customs, the clumsy methods of disguise by lawbreakers are ridiculous.
On June 12, 2012, when Xiamen customs officers supervised a batch of "Taiwan groceries" at the Shihu port in Shishi City, a batch of wood wrapped in layers of snakeskin plastic paper attracted the customs' attention. The batch of wood has a strange shape, neither art crafts nor building materials and furniture materials. After disassembling the plastic paper, you can see the yellow-brown appearance and smell a faint smell. What is more suspicious is that the batch of wood's declared name turned out to be It is "cloth (dyed knitting)"!
After appraisal by professional institutions, the batch of "cloth" is actually the second-grade endangered protected plant of Agarwood, weighing 140 kg. On July 11, 2012, the case-handling staff successfully captured Fu Moumou, the owner of Huangshi Arts and Crafts City in Putian City, and seized 1.2 tons of agarwood in his shop, with a total value of 1.422 million yuan. On May 29, 2013, the first instance of Quanzhou Intermediate People's Court Fu Moumou was sentenced to 11 years in prison and fined 500,000 yuan.
Coincidentally, on September 4, 2013, a customs officer from Xiamen Customs found that in the Weitou Port of Jinjiang City, the "cotton towels" of two containers declared to be imported by a Xiamen company were imported. It's all reddish brown wood. Appraised by professional organizations, the batch of wood contains 20 tons of sandalwood and red sandalwood listed in Appendix II of the International Trade Convention for Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, and 6.4 tons of non-endangered species of Indian red sandalwood and large fruit red sandalwood, with a total value of 13.742 million yuan. The Xiamen Customs Anti-smuggling Bureau also notified relevant clues to the Hong Kong Customs in time to assist the Hong Kong Customs in successfully seizing the wood of two containers also falsely declared as “cotton towelsâ€, weighing 28.87 tons and valued at more than 9 million yuan.
