Recently, the Inspection and Quarantine Bureau of Fujian province seized the tour guides and tourists of outbound tour groups at Fuzhou airport port for many times, including the Bird’s Nest that would be banned from entering the port after they “dressed up, packaged as potato chips in an attempt to get through. In the first quarter of this year, prohibited imports intercepted from the passengers carrying by tourist charter flights accounted for 10.26% of the seized volume at Fuzhou airport port.
On April 18, the inspection and quarantine staff at Fuzhou airport port seized three passengers carrying bird’s nest in the tour group returning from Bali. The three people hid the Bird’s Nest worth about 20,000 yuan into the package of potato chips and brought it back to China.
On April 19, Fuzhou airport port seized another “cross-dressing case”. Three tourists and a tour guide returning from Maldives hid 3.17 kilograms of sea cucumber in the box of Maotai liquor to get through the border (as shown in the figure).
The inspection and quarantine staff at Fuzhou airport port said that the next step will be to destroy the goods for those who have carried prohibited goods for many times to improve the law enforcement deterrent. However, the punishment will be strengthened for tour guides who fail to carry out the publicity of inspection and quarantine laws and regulations for team passengers, carry prohibited goods themselves and incite tourists to resist law enforcement, and establish a “blacklist” for international tour guides “.
