Shenzhen, HK crack down on smuggling  

深港两地海关联手治理“水客”走私

深港海关开展“深港两地海关共筑‘国门之盾’，联手打击‘水客’走私专项行动”，共同整治“水客”走私行为。

Shenzhen (CNS) -- Shenzhen and Hong Kong customs officers on Sunday launched a crackdown on smuggling in Shenzhen, a boomtown in south China's Guangdong province.

The smugglers pass the Shenzhen-Hong Kong customs back and forth about six to 10 times a day, carrying contrabands in bags, luggage carriers or hiding in their clothes, according to an official of Shenzhen Customs.

The smuggling has disturbed the market and trade between the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong, he said.

The crackdown is part of the Customs General Administration's special campaign on smuggling initiated in January.
