The incidents occurred on March 27th at 5 p.m. when two female passengers drew the attention of customs officials at the Qingmao Port by passing through without declaring their belongings.
They were wearing black-and-yellow striped shirts and light green jackets, displaying nervous expressions and a heavy gait, prompting customs officials to intercept them.
After a thorough inspection, customs officials found 34 old mobile phones and 12 pairs of Apple-branded earphones bound with black elastic bandages and plastic film on various parts of one woman's body.
Another woman was found to have 20 old iPhones bound with plastic film around her waist.
Just half a minute later, another woman, dressed in a black and white top and with an unusually bulky physique, attempted to enter through the non-declared goods channel and was also intercepted by customs officials.
Further inspection revealed that she had hidden 48 old mobile phones and 6 pairs of Apple-branded earphones in her chest and abdomen.
Customs authorities remind all travelers that smuggling behavior includes hiding, disguising, concealing, or otherwise evading customs supervision to transport, carry, or mail goods or items prohibited or restricted from entry or exit by the country, or goods or items subject to customs duties under the law.
