We all dream of owning the latest technology products at an affordable price, but this isn’t always possible. The different rules and tax systems of various countries can make this especially more difficult. For example, we mentioned a while back that Turkey is selling the most expensive iPhone in the world, and thanks to taxes, was making even more money than Apple. However, such situations equally increase interest in smuggling. Recently, In China, authorities arrested a man who was attempting to smuggle 68 iPhone across the border. Here are the details…

Man’s Odd Walking Raises Customs Officers’ Suspicions, Leading to Discovery of 68 iPhones

Smuggling is a serious issue in every country around the world. Sadly, China is not an exception. Recently, a man attempted to secretly bring 68 used iPhones into the country. According to a report published by the authorities, on the night of July 31st, this man, who was wearing a dark-blue short-sleeved shirt, tried to cross the border. He picked the “No Need to Declare” lane at the border checkpoint.

However, his walking was weird. He was moving in a very stiff and heavy way. This caught the attention of the customs officers, so they stopped him. After checking him carefully, they found something surprising. The man had 68 old iPhones taped around his waist, tummy, and legs. The case is currently being handled further in accordance with the stipulated regulations.

Although this situation quite surprised us, it is not that shocking for the customs officers. The people working there almost encounter similar cases every day. For instance, we previously mentioned the man who was caught trying to enter the country by stuffing 48 CPUs into his shoes. Although we can understand the need to avoid expenses, you should pay your taxes, otherwise, you can be punished by the law.
