< p > recently, the Municipal Intermediate People's court made a first instance judgment on the serious smuggling import waste "a" target= "_blank" href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" > textile "/a" goods detected by Ningbo Customs: a Ningbo freight forwarder Co., Ltd. was convicted of smuggling ordinary goods and was fined 13 million yuan. Lee, a legal representative of the company, was sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment and the remaining 5 persons were sentenced to 3 to 5 years in prison respectively.

< p > at the beginning of 2012, in handling a common case of smuggling of waste textiles, investigators from Ningbo customs found that there were correlations between the number of contracts imported to Ningbo at the port and the number of contracts declared to the customs.

There are indications that the import of waste cloth should be operated by the same group.

Therefore, Ningbo customs would like to follow the target, locking the target in a freight forwarding company in Ningbo.

After investigation, the company specially forged documents for the owner, providing agent clearance services for the import and export licenses of solid waste, including the export of goods abroad, the import customs clearance of goods after shipment to the territory, the license to purchase imported textile waste, and the application for the certificate of origin, and the premium is charged from 1200 yuan to 2000 yuan per ton.

When helping the owner import, the company will declare the goods with the name of the waste textile scrap, textile waste and other documents.

< p > "after we have gone around collecting evidence everywhere, we find that the real shippers of imported waste textiles are individual operators or small factories scattered in Wenzhou and Taizhou, which are engaged in the recycling of waste textiles."

Ningbo customs handling officers said that these non waste processing and production qualified individual workshops were involved in the washing, recycling and processing of waste textiles, causing pollution to local air, land and water sources. "The sewage discharged from some workshops and factories nearby has been dyed and stained with color and smell."
