customs officials pointed out Article 7 of the Regulations on the Implementation on the Implementation of Customs Administrative Punishments of the People's Republic of China. That regulation prohibits people entering China from evading “customs supervision by hiding, disguising, concealing declarations, false declarations or other means, transporting, carrying, or mailing goods that are prohibited or restricted from entry or exit by the state.”

subject to a fine of “not more than three times the amount of duties payable but evaded.”
