reporter recently interviewed in coastal provinces such as Guangdong, Guangxi, Jiangsu and so on, and learned that, driven by high profits, "foreign garbage" smuggling has been banned repeatedly in some places, showing a high trend.

At present, there has been a chain of criminal interests at home and abroad, with clear collusion, clear division of labor, diversified means and strong concealment.

"foreign garbage" refers to the solid wastes prohibited by our country, which mainly include industrial waste such as waste slag, waste tires, waste batteries, electronic wastes, and old < a target= "_blank" href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" > clothing < /a >, domestic refuse, medical waste and hazardous waste.

Because of "foreign garbage" seriously endangering the ecological environment and human health, experts believe that we must be vigilant our country's "garbage dump" in developed countries.

"foreign garbage" smuggling showed a high incidence trend

Why do we dare to appear in broad daylight? P, a private border department in Guangxi, said that as the Beilun river is a boundary river, it is a public waterway. Although the lawless elements are prepared to smuggle foreign garbage, but as long as they do not go ashore, our law enforcement personnel will not be able to check it, otherwise it will easily lead to international disputes, so some lawless elements have no fear.

Guangxi Dongxing and Guangning City, Vietnam are separated from BeiCang River, which is one of the most prosperous border trade points between China and Vietnam.

Fang Jiangming, commissar of the Dongxing customs anti smuggling sub Bureau, said that in 2012, Dongxing Customs seized more than 1.3 tons of foreign garbage, and 111 cases of foreign garbage were seized in the first quarter of this year.

in recent years, the smuggling of foreign garbage has been developing rapidly in coastal provinces.

In February of this year, the customs of Foshan, Guangdong, found that 1 containers of waste plastic (10840, -145.00, -1.32%) imported from the company were found to contain 5.4 tons of chemicals, 360 of which were identified as highly toxic cuprous cyanide.

In March of this year, the Shantou customs investigated and dealt with the suspected "smuggling" of the "hang Da" freighter on small ships from Hong Kong and Macao, and seized 731 bags of waste flat panel televisions and liquid crystal displays, weighing about 25 tons.

the responsible person of the Guangdong branch of the General Administration of Customs has said that as a major province of solid waste import in China, Guangdong customs has investigated and dealt with 42 cases involving solid waste this year, including 23 cases of suspected import of solid waste.

Compared with the past, smuggling types gradually increased, including highly toxic copper cyanide, old clothes, waste tyres, waste X ray detectors, monitors and other waste electronic products, as well as foam lunch boxes and other domestic waste.

February 2012, Nanjing customs Zhangjiagang smuggling sub Bureau seized 5 cases of smuggling of foreign cities, seized more than 4000 tons of garbage and seized 7 suspects, including Hefei and Pu Trading Co., Ltd. and Hefei totem Trading Co., Ltd.

Si Yongsheng, Deputy Commissioner of Nanjing customs and director of smuggling Bureau, said that since February this year, Nanjing customs has investigated and dealt with 3 cases involving illegal smuggling and smuggling.

After the examination and examination, it was found that the imported solid waste which was not in conformity with the regulations had been returned to the 1 batches of 3500 tons of scrap steel, and the 1 batches of waste paper were being processed for a total of 10 thousand tons.

according to the customs anti smuggling personnel, after a series of resale, more than 100 U.S. dollars per ton of "a" http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_s.asp "http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_s.asp" > foreign garbage < /a > after being smuggled into the country, sorting and selling can earn ten or even tens of times of huge profits.

reporter found that the smuggling of foreign garbage has formed a chain of crime collusion, division of labor and skillful operation, and foreign suppliers, middlemen and domestic importers have made profits for the three parties.

Domestic smugglers buy foreign garbage at very low prices, and use domestic cheap labor to do sorting and selling.

a staff member of the Guangxi border crackdown smuggling Department told reporters that at present, the main exporting countries of China's foreign garbage are Europe, the United States, Japan and so on. These countries have strict requirements for garbage disposal and high processing costs. Foreign enterprises receive illegal waste treatment subsidies from government departments, and illegally pfer foreign wastes to China through middlemen, and then sell them to China's acquisition enterprises.

according to the Zhangjiagang customs anti smuggling personnel, in a series of large overseas smuggling cases investigated last year, a supplier from Holland who exported foreign garbage accepted the subsidy from the governments of Holland, Britain and Belgium to deal with some municipal garbage produced by the corresponding countries, and the total amount was about 20 thousand tons per month.

But the packing plant in Rotterdam, Holland, can only pick up more than 10 thousand tons of municipal waste every month, and the remaining thousands of tons of garbage will be pported to non developed countries for digestion.

take the 30 containers of 763 tons of municipal refuse sold to Zhangjiagang as an example. The CIF price is 130 US dollars per ton, of which the shipping cost from Rotterdam to Zhangjiagang is about 100 US dollars per ton, and the remaining 30 US dollars per ton can be used to pay for land freight, packing and packing fees in Europe, and the waste disposal subsidies received by government departments can be directly turned into profits.

the middleman who participates in foreign garbage smuggling is usually a professional trading company that serves as a bridging agent for foreign suppliers and domestic importers.

Middlemen sell foreign junk abroad to domestic enterprises, earning about $10 a ton.

Because of the huge turnover, the profits are considerable.

the main smugglers of domestic importers are trading companies, and there is a special simple garbage sorting plant near the port to make profits after sorting and selling the imported garbage.

According to the smugglers of Hefei and Pu Trading Co., which were seized by customs, the cost of 763 tons of foreign garbage purchased from Holland was 1000 yuan to 1100 yuan per ton, but the market price of the waste paper sold at 2000 yuan per ton. The market price of the plastic products such as milk bottles, mineral water bottles and other plastic products sold in the market was 7000 yuan to 10000 yuan per ton, and the price of the sorting aluminum cans and so on was 4000 yuan per ton.

sorting and low manpower cost is another reason why domestic a href= "http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp" > Import < /a > has made huge profits.

It is understood that the domestic sorting cost is only equivalent to 1/10 of the sorting cost abroad, the domestic sorting workers earn only 2000 yuan per month, the working time reaches 60 to 70 hours per week, there are almost no protective measures in the sorting process, while the sorting wage abroad is about 2000 euro per month, and the working hours are only 40 hours per week, and the cost of protective clothing and other protective measures is very high.

.

means of committing crimes are covert and diverse.

introduction of Customs anti smuggling personnel, at present, there are more and more illegal elements smuggling foreign garbage, mainly adopting "ant moving" type smuggling, customs clearance smuggling, smuggling smuggling, and so on. They use false reporting name, camouflage goods, forged documents and other means to muddle through, and have a very strong concealment.

some lawless elements use border detour and waterway as cover to carry out "ant moving" smuggling.

A staff member of the private sector in Guangxi, a border department, told reporters that the foreign garbage smuggling vessels parked in the middle and cross boundary Lun River in Hebei would be shipped ashore as soon as the law enforcement officers relaxed.

"The whole process takes only a few minutes to get law enforcement officers into a passive position."

in Guangdong near Hong Kong and Macau, some smugglers use small ships from Hong Kong and Macao to pport small quantities of foreign garbage in batches.

besides, smugglers also concealed import names and secretly smuggled customs.

The head of the Guangdong branch of the General Administration of Customs said that the problems in the management of foreign garbage import were mainly concealed and buried.

Smugglers often declare prohibited foreign imports and declare them by restricting the names of imported products.

In February this year, an electronics company in Zhongshan declared to import 6 of Gongbei's new old infrared detectors in general trade mode.

But customs inspection shows that the imported goods are old X ray detectors, which belong to the waste mechanical and electrical products prohibited by the state.

at present, smugglers do not hesitate to make a detour to choose a secret place to make a pition. There is a sign of smuggling smuggling around the customs in the outward closed area or in the customs area.

In April of this year, Guangzhou Customs seized 29.3 tons of suspected imported smuggled clothes.

After investigation, the old garments were pported from Dongxing, Guangxi to Dali, South China Sea. They were planned to pfer to Lufeng, Guangdong.

because foreign cities refuse to be pported from developed countries to our territory, they need to be inspected by the Chinese inspection and Certification Group, the customs offices of the exporting countries, the state inspection departments of China, the Chinese customs and so on. Therefore, smugglers collude with each other to disguise and fake the goods.

the customs anti smuggling personnel briefed the reporters that when the shippers were loading goods, the overseas shippers discharged good quality waste paper, stacked urban refuse inside them, and middlemen and consignees in the process of applying the "inspection certificate for loading materials before shipment to China", export declaration, ocean shipping bill of lading, import inspection and customs declaration, etc., all city garbage was falsely reported according to the name of the waste paper discharged from the container door, and the offense was quite professional.

cracking down on smuggling is facing multiple problems: /p >

P reporter learned that a large number of foreign garbage smuggled into China seriously threatened the ecological environment and human health.

At present, customs departments and other departments are still facing many difficulties in combating foreign garbage smuggling, such as high cost and difficult follow-up.

in recent years, the import of solid waste has been increasing year by year due to factors such as economic development, rising energy demand and upgrading of domestic related industries.

According to statistics, in 2010, the solid waste imported from China, such as waste paper, waste plastics, waste metals, and so on, amounted to about 48000000 tons, valued at about 30000000000 US dollars, and reached about 40 billion US dollars in 2012.

Wang Chieh, vice governor of Nanjing customs, Wang Chieh, said that imported solid waste is an indispensable strategic resource in China. Many countries in the world have attached great importance to the recycling and utilization of regenerated resources. But the smuggling of "Ocean Garbage" often mixed with various pollutants, causing serious pollution to our environment, endangering human health, disturbing the normal trade order, and the disaster of the country and the people.

Luo Xiangzhou, Secretary of the political and Law Commission of Dongxing, Guangxi, said that the destruction of the environment caused by "foreign garbage" is irreversible. The harmful substances produced during processing and utilization pollute the air, water and land, and some heavy metal pollution is difficult to eliminate for many years.

For example, waste < a target= "_blank" href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" > cloth > /a > it is difficult to deal with the leftover materials, choose landfill not to rot easily, and pollute the water easily without disinfection.

Nanjing Customs recently seized a case of foreign garbage smuggling. When the customs anti smuggling law enforcement officers opened containers containing foreign garbage for inspection, moldy waste paper, broken glass (1373, -21.00, -1.51%), beverage bottles, rag, diapers, plastic bags, old a target= "_blank" href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" > clothes, /a, and even animal waste and other garbage scattered in one place.

On the second day, the customs officers and smuggling police who had been involved in the inspection and had "intimate contact" with the goods had serious symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection and epidermis infection.

introduction of the customs anti smuggling personnel, sorting foreign garbage not only causes great damage to the body of the employees, but also makes the downstream products such as waste plastics and scrap metal sorting out into the market, and it may also cause incalculable harm.

For example, old clothes and other foreign garbage are covered with a large number of bacteria. They are important infectious sources of various diseases such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, plague, cholera and so on. They are once again sold into the market after being refurbished, and seriously threaten public health safety.

the industry believes that some developed countries have been pporting large quantities of foreign garbage to China in order to avoid environmental pollution and high processing costs, and form a chain of abnormal trafficking and sorting in China. A small number of people have gained huge profits, but they have made great contributions to China's ecological environment. This situation needs to be reversed, and we must be vigilant against the fact that our country has become a "garbage dump" in developed countries.

the basic law enforcement departments reflect that at present, the fight against foreign garbage smuggling is still faced with many difficulties, such as the difficulty in subsequent processing, the determination of smuggling and sentencing, the high cost of seizure, and the wide enforcement of law enforcement.

first, after many foreign garbage enters our country, it passes through the "waste recycling station".

Luo Xiangzhou said, some garbage collection processing station stall owners do not recognize that they are recycling foreign garbage, business and environmental protection departments know that these sites may become the hiding place of foreign garbage, but their documents are complete and the conditions are in accordance with the regulations, and the relevant departments have no alternative to them.

At present, for the recyclable foreign garbage, who will examine and approve the qualification of the recovery agency and who will supervise it, the responsibilities of the functional departments are not clear.

two is the current laws and regulations and grassroots anti smuggling work is not suitable.

Fang Jiangming, political commissar of the Dongxing customs anti smuggling sub Bureau, told reporters that the criminals who smuggled foreign garbage were punished according to China's "solid illegal pollution prevention and control law", and the fines ranged from 100 thousand yuan to 1 million yuan.

But some border residents ride tricycles to pull more than 10 old tyres, and the law enforcement departments can not punish at least 100 thousand yuan. They often only have to check foreign garbage and let them go after education, so many people are more fearless.

At the same time, our country's legal definition of solid waste is not perfect, such as defective products, grade goods, grade two products, lower corner products and so on.

three is the high cost and difficult handling of "foreign garbage".

Jiangsu Zhangjiagang customs anti smuggling personnel reflect that after the seizure of foreign garbage, there is a statutory procedural requirement for case investigation, pfer and trial. It is impossible to close the case and deduct the goods in a short time.

In this way, we should not only arrange local storage and personnel guarding, but also classify and identify them, which will cost a lot of manpower cost.

At the same time, because of the lack of special treatment of special waste enterprises and facilities, the more the more people are seized, the more manpower, material resources and financial resources will be invested. The greater the pressure, the less easy to deal with.

four is that there are few physical isolation on the front-line, wide enforcement and difficult enforcement.

A number of Border Guard officers in Guangxi told reporters that the Sino Vietnamese land boundary line in Guangxi was more than 1000 kilometers long. Due to the lack of natural barriers, some sidewalks were accessible in all directions, almost no line of defense, and brought convenience to foreign garbage smuggling activities.

Because of the difficulty of management, the existing anti smuggling force is very weak. It is not enough to rely solely on the comprehensive administration of the border governments and the anti smuggling department, and some illegal organizations are looking for the wind. They monitor the vehicles and personnel of the law enforcement departments all the time, and make the anti smuggling action difficult.
