A bag of plastic sent by foreign customers to our company was identified as solid waste by the customs, with a total amount of ***22kg. How to deal with it and what kind of punishment will it be?

Article 115 of the Law on the Prevention and Control of Environmental Pollution by Solid Wastes promulgated in 2020 stipulates the punishment for importing solid wastes: if solid wastes from People's Republic of China (PRC) and abroad are imported into China, the customs shall order them to return the goods and impose a fine of more than 500,000 yuan but less than 5 million yuan. The carrier (transportation company shall bear joint liability) shall bear joint liability with the importer for the return and disposal of solid waste as stipulated in the preceding paragraph.

Judging from the punishment cases of daily operation, the customs will make a comprehensive evaluation based on the factors such as the impact of the goods on the environment, whether they actively cooperate with the customs, whether they agree to return the goods out of the country, and the value/quantity of the goods, and make appropriate use: Article 32 of the Administrative Punishment Law is exempt, so don't panic when encountering such things, and must actively cooperate with the customs to deal with them.

The above comes from my discovery, source: Baidu from the media Jinlong Li Shun supply chain.
