[Ningbo Customs Anti-Smuggling Bureau Cracks Down on Smuggling of Virtual Currency Mining Machines, Seizes Over 400 'Mining Machines'] According to Zhejiang Daily, the Ningbo Customs Anti-Smuggling Bureau recently conducted in-depth investigations and meticulous reconnaissance, successfully dismantling multiple criminal groups involved in smuggling virtual currency 'mining machines,' effectively cutting off an illegal industrial chain. Previously, during a routine inspection of a batch of inbound express parcels declared as 'industrial blockers,' Ningbo Customs discovered that the actual goods did not match the declaration and were, in fact, virtual currency 'mining machines.' Customs officers promptly transferred this clue to the anti-smuggling department. Upon receiving the report, the Ningbo Customs Anti-Smuggling Bureau immediately assembled an elite task force to form a special investigation team. Through data analysis and clue tracing, they gradually clarified the organizational structure and operational model of the criminal network. When the timing was right, they launched decisive operations, simultaneously conducting raids in locations such as Dongguan and Shenzhen in Guangdong Province, successfully dismantling multiple smuggling groups. Upon investigation, the series of cases involved the seizure of over 400 illegally imported 'mining machines,' including brands such as Antminer L9 and IceRiver KS3.
