Hong Kong seizes duty-unpaid electronic waste and products from container

Hong Kong Customs and Excise Department busted an attempt to smuggle electronic waste and electronic products to Malaysia.

An ocean-going boxship was detained at Kwai Chung Container Terminal on 4 April and a large number of suspected smuggled electronic parts, electronic products and electronic scrap, with an estimated market value of about US$13 million, were seized.

The container was declared to contain aluminium alloy and the contraband items included integrated circuits, computer servers, routers and a batch of electronic scrap.

Information about the ship was not disclosed, but vessel-tracking data suggests the ship was Wan Hai Lines’ 3,055 TEU Wan Hai 329, which departed Hong Kong on 4 April and arrived in Malaysia’s Port Klang on 10 April.

Following investigations, Customs officers arrested a 53-year-old woman on 5 April.
