美国截获大量走私蜂蜜 产地虚假标注为越南 实为中国产

据外媒报道，美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）下属机构国土安全调查局（HSI）的特工截获近60吨从中国走私、运往美国的蜂蜜，涉案价值超过20万美元。

  本次涉案产品为3个集装箱装载的195桶散装蜂蜜，走私蜂蜜伪造产地为越南，此举是为了规避适用于中国蜂蜜的反倾销税。

  国土安全调查局将蜂蜜样本送至美国海关和边境保护局（CBP）在佐治亚州萨凡纳的实验室，美国海关和边境保护局经检测后确定，蜂蜜原产自中国的概率超过99%。

  CHICAGO — Special agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s （ICE） Homeland Security Investigations （HSI） have seized nearly 60 tons of illegally imported Chinese honey valued at more than $200，000 destined for U.S. consumers.

  The three shipping container loads （195 barrels） of bulk honey smuggled into the United States were falsely declared as originating from Vietnam to evade anti-dumping duties applicable to Chinese-origin honey.

  HSI Chicago was notified in March of the suspect honey by a domestic honey packer located in the Midwest after laboratory reports provided to the honey packer appeared fraudulently altered. HSI sent honey samples to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection （CBP） laboratory in Savannah， Georgia， for analysis.  CBP determined that the honey had a greater than 99 percent probability match with Chinese-origin honey.
