Smuggling Case Involving Tour Guides at Tianjin Airport
Tianjin Customs uncovers case of tour guide manipulating tourists to smuggle goods, resulting in confiscation of electronics, cigarettes, and alcohol.

According to a report from China News Network on March 28th, on March 22nd, Tianjin Binhai Airport Customs discovered that multiple passengers' luggage contained items with extremely high similarity in X-ray images and quantities during routine inspections of incoming passengers and luggage, and that none of them had declared these items to customs.

 

After an in-depth investigation into an abnormal situation, Tianjin Binhai Airport Customs confirmed that this was a case of tour guides manipulating tour group tourists to carry excess items into the country with the intention of making financial gains. Following a on-site count, customs officials seized 36,000 electronic pods, 1,000 packs of cigarettes, 4 smoking accessories, and 8 bottles of wine.

 

The situation has been appropriately handled, and the outcome of the related actions will be announced in due course.
