What is Smuggling.

Mass smuggling is done in containers, ships when they enter or leave the country.
Some powerful boats make short trips to nearest free port and back within 24 hrs.
Diamonds, Gold Silver drugs and other items like textiles yarn are hot favourites.
Carriers, Air-traffic staff, bring banned items as baggage items in limited quantity.



At every air-port, sea-port and land-station the staff is engaged in physical
Supervision of scanning passengers and crates of containers and boxes
to check goods. There are supervisory and information collecting agencies
whose job is to catch big syndicates involved in smuggling.

Smuggling relates to Goods-things. Any action to bring into the country goods,
or exporting the goods out of the country contrary to the provisions of Customs
Rules amounts to smuggling.

One of the important profitable markets has taken shape in the country to export
Cattle to neighbouring countries like Pakistan Bangladesh across the border.
The Moslem heavy populated countries can find a good cut of beef. We
honour the cow and its slaughter is not allowed in many states.

Gems and precious stones when they are brought in are in raw form. They are
cut, trimmed polished and shined and used in studding in gold jewellery.
Film cameramen order special lunette lens from Belgium France Switzerland.
Contact-lens, wearing glasses frames, and other items of luxurious goods are
hot favourites.

Huge consignments of goods of industrial use are hot favourite items like bringing
Metals like brass copper aluminum are dumped into the country by way of mis-description of goods like waste, ash dross and skimming of metals.

Our neighbouring countries do not have the infrastructure to install big huge
Refineries to manufacture fertilizers urea, ammonium sulphate and many other types
of soil nutrient fertilizers. Half of our production of such fertilizers finds way to
the neighbouring countries for soil-conservation.

The general practice involved in import-export is mis-quoting the actual value of the goods to benefit from low prices when importing the goods and high prices when exporting to benefit from payment of customs duty.

Sale of parts of human body is a lucrative business to amass huge sum of money.
On the Internet there are special agencies contacting parties in need of replacement of kidney and other parts of the body. Kidney transplants are one of the roaring trades.
Needy and poor people are lured to donate one kidney in lieu of a lump sum of money.
There are nursing homes who conduct the transplant surgery.

Similarly parts of bodies of wild animals lions tigers leopards are in great demand
in China and China influenced culture throughout the south Asian countries. The bones
are crushed and powdered and sold at enormous price, for strength and vitality.
Magic potions are prepared out of the parts of body of such wild life, which fetch huge
prices.

An important source of smuggling is export of sandalwood, other forest wood and kinds, plants vegetables as medications in consignments is removed from the country.
All the country’s wild life has been extinguished.

Alligators from Argentina are brought into the country which fetches high prices.
The country is a safe haven for trafficking drug consignments to and fro from the country
to destinations in other countries. If caught in other countries, the punishment is severe and instant. In our country the procedure to convict a smuggler is lengthy and expensive.
The country has a long unguarded sea-shore. In Jesalmir in Rajasthan on the sand-shore
There are lines and lines of air-conditioned cabins dealing in human trafficking, movement of cattle to the neighbouring country. In exchange they send gold or consignments of drugs.

Tight administration is the need of the day. The borders are required to be
equipped with proper infrastructure and amenities. There should be important relay
of information and action taken on the spur of the moment without consulting political leaders who are constantly worried that our relations with the other country might get jeopardized. Law has to be enforced without interference from these big-wigs.
