Chinese garlic smuggling has become an activity that attracts more criminals, perhaps because it is less risky than other products.
Garlic smuggling is rampant in Europe, even in Sweden and Norway.
Swedish justice suspect two British subjects for Chinese garlic smuggling for not paying the fees prescribed by the European Union on Chinese garlic. The 2 men imported garlic into Norway, a country that does not belong to the EU. They then transported
it by truck into Sweden without declaring it as Chinese garlic.
The scam have led to € 10.6 million in unpaid taxes. Traffic lasted from February 2009 to June 2010. Swedish court did not divulge the names of the culprits.
