from "smuggling routes" to "combat strategies"

the "chain" of smuggling cases is often divided into multiple links. the first is the purchase of frozen products. smugglers often choose to look for cheap sources in overseas markets. take beef tripe as an example. the price of one ton of beef tripe in china is between 70,000 and 90,000 yuan, while the smuggling cost is 40,000 yuan, which means that every ton of beef tripe smuggled can earn about 40,000 yuan in illegal income; and every container smuggled can make a huge profit of about 1 million yuan.

secondly, smugglers use various means of transportation, such as ordinary ships or trucks, to make simple insulation modifications to allow frozen products to breed bacteria during long-distance transportation of more than ten or even dozens of hours. finally, smugglers illegally enter the country by bypassing customs in guangdong and hong kong waters, and hide the smuggled frozen products by changing the packaging and distributing them nationwide.

the dark side of the ecosystem

smuggling cases often present complex and ever-changing structures and patterns. the crackdown by the guangdong provincial public security department shows that this case has achieved a full-chain and full-link crackdown on smuggling gangs, mastered the "ecosystem" of smuggling crimes bypassing customs in guangdong-hong kong waters, and effectively cut off the "black industry chain" of smuggled frozen products.

“food safety” and market order

the smuggling of frozen products not only evades taxes and seriously disrupts the order of the domestic frozen product trading market, but also greatly increases the risk of disease transmission without inspection and quarantine, posing a great threat to my country's animal epidemic prevention and control and food safety. chen liting, head of the food risk monitoring section of jiangmen customs, said that the smuggling of frozen products will not only affect national security and economic development, but may also bring huge social harm, and effective measures must be taken to prevent and combat it.

actions by the public security authorities

a relevant person in charge of the criminal investigation bureau of the ministry of public security said that the ministry of public security will further strengthen overall coordination and work closely with relevant departments to highlight key targets, intensify special project attacks, maintain a high-pressure crackdown on maritime smuggling crimes, and resolutely maintain market circulation order and consumers' "food safety."

the occurrence of this case also reflects some social phenomena. for example, some businesses purchase and use smuggled frozen products in pursuit of profits, which not only violates the law but also may cause safety hazards. in addition, some consumers need to pay attention to distinguishing the authenticity of frozen products when purchasing them, and report suspicious clues to the public security organs in a timely manner to protect their own rights and interests.

in order to further combat smuggling crimes, it is necessary to strengthen supervision, raise awareness of smuggling, and intensify the crackdown on smuggling. at the same time, it is also necessary to guide the majority of businesses and consumers to pay attention to laws and regulations in the process of consumption and operation, and maintain market order.
