The Beijing Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau said that this behavior violated the relevant provisions of the Catalogue of Animals and Plants and Their Products Prohibited from Entry, and it would be illegal without declaration and approval.

Succulents become new and sprouting, and overseas purchasing is hot.
Succulent plants reproduce quickly and are easy to feed, so they are vividly called lazy plants. Since last year, this lovely plant has quickly occupied the hearts of white-collar workers and become a popular new favorite of potted plants in the horticultural market at home and abroad. Because foreign succulents are not only diverse in variety and reasonable in price compared with the domestic market, many people also start to buy succulents in Haitao.
Serena is a white-collar worker in a foreign company. At home, there are various succulents on her desk and balcony, such as Jasper, Gemstone Flower, Eight Thousand Generation, Rock Flower, Xiong Haizi and so on. I saw these succulents in Korean dramas early last year, and I was attracted by MengMeng's modeling at that time. I didn't expect plants to be so cute. However, there are always several varieties in the Beijing market. If you don't give up, go online and find out, and then slowly raise it when you come back.
Not only Serena has become a succulent lover, but also more and more friends have joined the succulent army around her. When we are free, we will discuss the knowledge of meat conservation together, or ask where there is good-looking meat. Another junior player, Mr. Guo, said that eating more meat can be roughly divided into the following stages: starting to buy crazily, cutting leaves, collecting old piles, and planting small seeds by yourself. In fact, many hardcore players in the circle also use the opportunity of traveling abroad to find meat everywhere.
There are many varieties of succulents, the price ranges from several yuan to several hundred yuan, and the most expensive is even thousands of yuan. The price difference mainly depends on the variety and the old pile. Serena said that the varieties are divided into domestic products and imported goods. The old pile is mainly the year of raising. The longer the time, the more expensive it is. Usually at least 3 to 5 years.
It is understood that there are nearly 10,000 kinds of succulents on the earth, and the prices vary greatly according to the texture and rarity. The medium-sized Guanyin lotus in the market only sells for five or six yuan, and it is not uncommon for some imported varieties to sell for thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan.
There are not only few varieties of succulents in the domestic market, but also the appearance quality is not as good as that of countries with mature succulents such as South Korea and Japan. Although some varieties have been successfully propagated in China after introduction, some varieties can only rely on imports due to climatic conditions or their own reasons. More meat lovers rely on foreign succulents websites to find their favorite succulents.

Haitao website declares toys or daily necessities for customs clearance
Buying more meat is very simple, and the process is basically the same as buying clothes and shoes on foreign websites. After placing an order, you wait for the goods to be received. A senior player told reporters.
In order to help some netizens who don't understand Haitao buy more meat, a purchasing service has also emerged on Taobao. Enter fleshy meat on Taobao, buy it, and thousands of treasures will appear immediately. In addition to seeds, there are already grown plants, mostly in Korea, Japan, the Netherlands and other countries. In many Korean meat purchasing shops, the words of customs clearance and professional purchasing are printed, and the purchasing fee is usually 0% of the total price of 65438+. On some professional websites, such as Asian Meat Network, group purchases are also conducted from time to time, and many people answer every time a group is held.
Yesterday, the reporter consulted a Korean succulent purchasing website in Qingdao as a buyer. The owners made it clear that their succulents did not go through the examination and approval procedures. After online shopping in Korea, the buyer submits the list to this store for purchase and transshipment. The succulents are packed in cartons, and the international freight is per kilogram 130 yuan. We will send it to you by express delivery in 7-65,438+05 days. If you are detained, you will not be prosecuted.
According to the introduction of the entry-exit inspection and quarantine department in Beijing, few of these websites that buy plants overseas fill in the plants truthfully at customs clearance. These Haitao buyers have been engaged in business for a long time. They will not only write truthfully, but also change the recipient's information from time to time, such as changing the address, recipient's name and telephone number. The declaration categories are also written in toys, daily necessities and personal belongings, even in Korean and English, for fear that quarantine officers will notice these emails.
The number of imported succulents seized by entry-exit quarantine departments has increased five times.
The reporter learned from the Beijing Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau yesterday that if foreign succulents want to enter China, the procedures are very strict. First of all, they need the Approval Form for Imported Seeds and Seedlings issued by the agricultural department or forestry department of China, the foreign official quarantine certificate of the importing country, the filing form of the directly affiliated bureau (such as Beijing Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau) or the Entry Animal and Plant Quarantine Permit issued by AQSIQ and other materials.
According to Shi Jiuda, chief of Beijing Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Mail Office, since 20 12, the quarantine personnel of this bureau have inspected succulents intercepted at the mail sorting site for the first time. At that time, succulents were still relatively small. With succulents becoming a hot spot in recent years, many people keep them as pets, and the number of mails is also increasing. Recently, the number of intercepted batches of plants alone has increased by 4-5 times.
According to Shi, from June 5 to April this year, the bureau intercepted 74 batches of plant mail, most of which came from South Korea, in addition to illegal plants from Spain, Britain, Hungary and other countries. Because many people know that plants are not allowed to enter the country by mail in any country, they also hide and ask quarantine personnel for information. Shi said that in the long-term front-line work, they have established a blacklist. In addition to people who often mail plants, they also record people who manage other living animals such as spiders, scorpions and centipedes.
When we call these people to tell them that their goods have been seized and destroyed on the spot, we will patiently educate them and discourage them from bringing more economic losses because of illegal activities. According to history, common succulents are cactus, apricot tree and Sedum.
In recent years, the quarantine supervision of imported plants has been confronted with new challenges due to its remarkable features such as variety, high quarantine risk, extensive sources and complicated entry modes. The quarantine department strengthens quarantine through quarantine dogs, X-ray machines and other technical means. For plant seeds that are not easy to be found, quarantine personnel are gradually strengthening technical means.

The succulents in Haitao may contain toxins and destroy the ecology.
In fact, many succulents cannot be introduced. The staff of Beijing Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau told Beiqing Daily that some succulents with strange shapes and bright colors are usually endangered species. According to international practice, animals and plants listed in the IUCN endangered species list are prohibited from being transported abroad unless they are used for scientific research or exhibition.
So what hidden dangers will these illegal succulents cause? The inspection and quarantine department said that succulents are easy to reproduce, and if they are discarded at will, succulents may spread in the wild and compete for the living space of local plants; In addition, these succulents with nematodes, plant pathogens and other harmful organisms will spread if they are not properly protected, posing a threat to domestic agricultural security; However, the soil or culture medium that these succulents enter into China contains many pathogenic microorganisms, which will also endanger the ecological security.
What consumers don't know is that many imported succulents also contain toxins. For example, the juice of pig ears chased by netizens recently is harmful to the heart, and the acupuncture from heaven will cause severe vomiting, arrhythmia, atrioventricular block and even death after being injected into the human body. At the same time, imported succulents are likely to contain live insects lacking natural enemies, and the threat to the ecological environment is immeasurable.
