These smugglers must be dumber than a rock to believe they will not get caught.

the thing is that they usually don't get caught, you'd be surprised to know that lots of people not so long ago and probably still trafic drugs, smuggle jewerly and all sort of things doing it this way. Why? because there is just 2 many people to search them all, sometimes perpetrators use dumb mules to snitch on so they can pass another load in another mule...

Some of these people are just in a bad position and desperate so they make poor choices, real criminals take advantage of this.

I’m sorry, I just wanted to say, nice use of “Perhaps some of those are among the best SSD’s”. I guess any news is good news to advertise other TH articles lol

This kind of behavior is never tolerated in Baraqua!
You smuggle Samsung ssds like that they put you in jail.
Right away. No trial, no nothing.
Smuggle iPhones, we have a special jail for people who smuggle iPhones.

For every smuggler that gets caught, there's probably another 10 that actually made it through.

It's not the actual smugglers who get caught, it's the mules they force to try and carry things over the border and, the mules are expendable...

Why is it considered so bad though? What harm is it actually doing to anyone? I'm genuinely curious

Customs import fees not collected
Local taxes not collected
Possibly low quality drives relabeled as Samsung or similar high end devices. Counterfeiting.
Very likely no warranty to the eventual purchaser

How much are the tariffs they are trying to avoid ?

Taxation on cross-border e-commerce retail imports:
① The tariff rate is temporarily set at 0% for cross-border e-commerce retail imports with a single transaction limit of RMB 5,000 or less and an individual annual transaction limit of RMB 26,000 or less, and import VAT and consumption tax are levied at 70% of the statutory tax amount;

but this one was over limit, so Import VAT + Import Duty of USA = 13606.29 USD
