回复: 全真18K金"劳力士"手表让海关给砸了! (告诫)
朋友的朋友从国内带了十二只大闸蟹,大摇大摆提起从飞机上下来(他不知道是违法的),过海关时被拦下,最后经高级法庭判罚款10万加币而且是要一次缴清(本来是要24万,介于态度端正从轻发落)。大家过海关时,真是要特别小心为好。
看来真有这事.螃蟹没找到,不过有相关规定可参考:
If an angler is caught transporting a lake sturgeon across the Canadian U.S. border without the proper CITES export permit, the angler can be charged under the Canadian Federal Statute of WAPPRITA and/or under the U.S. ESA and the Lacey Act. Under these acts, the lake sturgeon can be seized by officers, and the angler can receive a fine and/or jail time.
In Canada, an angler that is found guilty can be fined up to $150,000 and/or sentenced to five years in jail. In the U.S., penalties can reach a maximum of a $250,000 fine and/or five years in jail. Fines increase if the angler is transporting multiple sturgeon; in which case, fines can be assessed for each lake sturgeon separately.
Violating CITES can result in strong penalties & the continued loss of a valuable fish species.
