▫ Recently, a Chinese national was caught smuggling 160 Intel CPUs strapped to his body. The man was trying to enter China with Intel’s 11th Gen and the latest 12th Gen Alder Lake models. However, he was caught by customs officials.
▫ The man was trying to enter through the customs ‘no declaration channel’ to import tariffs on computer components. This way, he could avoid tax tariffs by smuggling the Intel CPUs.
▫ The officials found the man’s walking posture unnatural, so they called him aside for a security check. The man was carrying 160 Intel CPUs, and 16 folded mobile phones taped to the inner side of his calf, waist, and abdomen.
