The Double 11 Shopping Festival and the year-end decoration season are approaching, and some unscrupulous business owners are trying to make money by bringing in undeclared low-quality lamps! The First Battalion of the Third Security Police Corps of the Hong Kong Police Force used big data to analyze high-risk containers and conducted landing inspections before get off work, and discovered that unscrupulous operators were smuggling more than a thousand undeclared Chinese-made lamps and solar camping lamps through "grocery entrainment". The entire case has been transferred to the Keelung Customs Adjudication Division of the Customs Administration of the Ministry of Finance for violating the Customs Anti-Smuggling Regulations.

An investigation by the First Brigade of the Baosan Corps found that unscrupulous operators, taking advantage of the recent camping boom and Double 11 online shopping opportunities, deliberately picked up the containers during customs off-duty hours in an attempt to avoid inspections. Among the more than 1,000 items seized by the police, most were outdoor solar lamps commonly used for camping and gardens.

The Baosan Corps stated that since the Bureau of Standards and Inspection of the Ministry of Economic Affairs has recently announced amendments to the relevant inspection regulations for lighting fixtures and other commodities, once lamps without Taiwan's BSMI safety certification enter the market, they can easily cause current overload, overheating and even fire due to electrical or internal battery design defects; their light sources may also have severe stroboscopic and blue light exceeding standards, unknowingly causing chronic visual hazards to the eyesight of people and school children.

The Baosan Corps calls on people to avoid seeking low prices from unknown sources when buying outdoor camping lamps due to the prevalence of cross-border e-commerce and container shipping. When purchasing, be sure to identify the "Commodity Safety Label" and inspection number issued by the Bureau of Standards and Inspection, and confirm that the product has the complete factory name and specifications to avoid bringing hidden hazards home.
