Recently, Shekou Customs discovered during inspections of two shipments—declared as "tableware" and "hinges, handles, and screws," respectively, under the cross-border e-commerce model—that neither batch had actually been exported. Instead, the containers were found to be entirely filled with fireworks and firecrackers, raising suspicions of evading customs supervision.
After sampling and laboratory testing, this batch of fireworks and firecrackers was identified as Class 1 dangerous goods listed in the "List of Dangerous Goods Names," totaling 2,301 boxes weighing 48.5 tons.
Customs reminds: The state has strict regulations governing the transportation and storage of fireworks and firecrackers. Exporting these items through illegal means such as underreporting, misrepresentation, or concealment poses significant safety risks. Currently, the aforementioned goods have been handed over to the relevant departments for further handling.
In addition to customs inspections, shipping companies also conduct their own checks. If a shipping company discovers underreported cargo, the fines can easily run into tens of thousands of U.S. dollars. Whether it’s the cargo owner, freight forwarder, or trucking company—everyone works together to ensure that every export shipment is accurately declared.
