A Chinese woman tried to smuggle 350 Nintendo Switch cartridges across the border by hiding them in her bra, but was arrested by customs officers.
Console smuggling
Unusual behavior raises suspicions
At Liantang Port, located on the border between Hong Kong and Shenzhen, customs officers noticed a nervous woman with unusually large breasts. When they decided to conduct a search, they found 350 game cartridges for Nintendo Switch in her bra, intended for smuggling to mainland China. The value of the seized goods is estimated at $9,660.
Strict measures against smuggling
Chinese law imposes strict penalties for attempts to import or export goods , bypassing customs control. Violators face heavy fines of up to three times the amount of unpaid duties. In this case, if the cartridges are not a prohibited product, the woman may be fined.
Strengthening border controls
The Liantang border crossing point was created to relieve congestion at other border crossings and opened in February 2023. Chinese authorities are seeking to crack down on smuggling and illegal importation of goods by strengthening border controls.

Well well! What arrogance and recklessness 🤯 Smuggling through... a bra? This is just the height of creativity or despair!

Ay-ay-ay, what a shame for this woman 🤭 Instead of simply registering the goods as expected, she decided to follow the criminal path. But sooner or later they will figure her out!

But it seems to me that she simply had no other choice 🤷♂️ Maybe she urgently needed these cartridges, but did not have enough money to pay the duty. Although, of course, the method I chose was not the best.

Yes, creativity is flowing! 😂 But still, in my opinion, it is better to stay within the law. Especially when crossing borders - there is very strict control.

Oh, this story reminded me of an incident from my youth 😅 Once, my friend and I tried to smuggle a bunch of cheap alcohol across the border. They also hid it in unusual places, but they still got caught. I had to pay a fine...

Hmm, I think you're all being too hard on this lady 🧐 Perhaps she had good reasons for doing this. Let's not judge without knowing all the circumstances. Either way, I hope she learns a lesson from this situation.

The poor thing probably took a lot of risks for such an adventure 😳 But on the other hand, why bother at all? Nintendo Switch is a completely legal console; you can easily import it by paying a duty. Incomprehensible logic...

Ugh, what stupidity! 🙄 Risk your reputation and freedom for the sake of some toys. It would be better to spend this money on something more useful and legal. I hope she gets a good fine for such antics!
