< p > the Mafia of Italy lied about China's export to Europe "a" target= "_blank" href= "//m.pmae.cn/" > clothing < /a > for evading Customs duties.

< /p >

< p > reported that Europe is the largest export market for Chinese clothing, but the customs policies of the 28 European Union countries are not the same. Italy is also Europe's largest importing country of Chinese clothing.

The Italy Mafia chose the southern Naples as its entry point to avoid tariffs, where they announced that the price of jeans and T-shirt imported from China were 1 euros and 50 euro cents respectively.

Rocco Burdo, a senior official in the Italy customs anti fraud division, said that such illegal trade is large and profitable, and the law is loose. He said, "false valuation is a great threat to Europe as a whole. The EU should take immediate measures to crack down on lawless elements." P

Although the tariff policies of EU countries are different, tariffs on jeans, pure cotton T-shirt and other Chinese clothing are about 12% of the unit price, and these tariffs account for 3/4 of the EU's budget revenue.

"China is the world's largest exporter. Last year, the European Union imported goods worth around 289 billion 700 million euros," said OLAF, head of the EU customs and trade fraud investigation agency.

According to the statistics from the European Union statistics bureau, the total trade volume between China and Europe reached 43360 billion euros.

Last year, the European Union imported 36 billion 400 million euros worth of "a target=" _blank "href=" //m.pmae.cn/ "shoes" and "clothing products" from China, which are the main manipulations of criminal groups.

The commodities such as knitwear and shoes are sold crazily through the growing Chinatown and outdoor stalls in Rome, and are sold to all parts of Europe through flea market. These are the biggest profits for criminal gangs.

At the same time, many of these goods are imitation of big brands. "

< p > OLAF said in a report that they found that criminals used sophisticated equipment to copy and print fake invoices, pport documents and certificates of origin in a search.

OLAF commentator Murphy commented, "at present, the amount of Customs fraud involved is generally estimated at several billion euros.

But according to my experience, the real figure is much higher than this valuation. "

< p > Murphy also indicated that most of the 6 customs fraud cases involving OLAF were committed by local criminal gangs.

P, Reuters reported that the countries involved in customs fraud cases also included Germany and the United Kingdom.

At present, Hamburg has begun searching and arresting companies suspected of false valuation.

The Italy authorities and OLAF believe that the EU can do more in anti customs fraud, at least not from the interests of a single country, but with the EU as a whole.

From the policy point of view, the use of unified "a href=" http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_q.asp "Customs" /a "regulation and system by all European Union countries can reduce the probability of similar incidents more effectively.
