Sunny Worldwide LogisticsIt is a logistics company with more than 20 years of transportation experience, focusing on markets such as Europe, America, Canada, Australia, Southeast Asia, etc., and is more than the owner of the cargo owner.

In recent months, there have been too many transportation safety incidents caused by dangerous goods in the industry. However, the customs still frequently report cases of concealing dangerous goods, which shows that many cargo owners and freight forwarders are lucky, take risks, and take high risks to make profits, and are repeatedly banned...

According to the customs release, recently, Meishan Customs, which belongs to Ningbo Customs, seized fireworks and firecrackers in containers that had not been declared, totaling about 12.68 tons. At present, the goods have been handed over to the subsequent department for processing.

It is reported that when the customs officer conducted on-site inspection of a batch of goods declared as "trolley boxes and trolley boxes accessories", he found that except for a small amount of door-sealed goods in the container, the rest were fireworks and firecrackers. All of this batch of fireworks and firecrackers are packaged in ordinary cartons and plastic woven bags, totaling 12.68 tons.

In addition, not long ago, in April, the Port and Shipping Branch of Ningbo Municipal Public Security Bureau disclosed a case that endangers public safety in a dangerous manner supervised by the Ministry of Public Security. In this case, the police successfully cracked down on two criminal gangs entrenched in Ningbo Port that illegally exported fireworks and firecrackers.

It is reported that since October 2023, the Port and Shipping Branch of the Ningbo Municipal Public Security Bureau has received clues from Ningbo Customs, and found that the suspects Chai, Cao and others transported fireworks and firecrackers from Hunan, Jiangxi and other places to Ningbo, Jinhua and Yiwu, etc. in the name of a self-registered trading company to pack and exchange goods, and then disguised as ordinary goods and illegally exported from the Ningbo port area.

After multiple rounds of meticulous investigation by the public security department, the Port and Shipping Branch of Ningbo Public Security Bureau found that the members of the gang involved Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hunan and other places, and the personnel involved included practitioners in the entire chain of fireworks and firecrackers procurement, warehousing, transportation, loading and unloading, and exporting.

"The export of fireworks and firecrackers is prohibited in the Ningbo port area. We have always severely punished the illegal export of fireworks and firecrackers with a 'zero tolerance' attitude." A relevant person in charge of the Port and Shipping Branch said.

In recent years, in order to obtain high profits, criminals have exported fireworks and firecrackers from Ningbo Port by false reports, concealing reports, hiding and entraining. This illegal act will bring major risks to regional social security.

Customs reminder: Fireworks belong to the first category of dangerous goods (explosives) listed in the "Table of Dangerous Goods".The state has strict regulations on the transportation and storage of fireworks and firecrackers, and must be packaged with dangerous goods that meet the requirements during export. Exporting fireworks and firecrackers by illegal means such as concealing reports, false reporting, and hiding, posing safety hazards.

Moreover, the illegal export fireworks and firecrackers seized are often packaged in a simple manner, contain high gunpowder, and have no protective measures, which is equivalent to "burying mines" everywhere in road transportation, loading and unloading operations, port storage, and sea shipping.

Ningbo Port and Shipping Public Security said: In order to create a safe and stable development environment for the port, the bureau has jointly established and improved the technical and tactical methods of "front-end prevention and control - mid-end crackdown - end-end disposal" in recent years, and severely punished the corresponding criminal behavior. Over the years, more than 70 suspects in illegal export crimes involving fireworks and firecrackers have been cracked down on the criminal punishment.

Police remind: Ningbo ports prohibit illegal export of fireworks and firecrackers, and Ningbo Public Security has always maintained a high-pressure crackdown on this illegal and criminal act.
