Hardware smuggling is becoming a real issue, or at least it is in China, as seemingly many individuals are attempting to get across as much hardware as they can in an effort to resell them to reseller sites for profit. According to Chinese news publication HKEPC, a man has been caught by Chinese authorities attempting to get 420 M.2 SSDs estimated to be worth around $33,000 across the border.
A man surnamed Guo went from Macau to Zhuhai via Gongbei Customs. The customs officer found that he was wearing a loose coat and had a strange bulge in his waist and abdomen when walking, so he was intercepted for investigation. After further inspection, customs officers seized a large number of plastic film-wrapped memories and M.2 SSDs in his waist and abdomen, a total of 450 pieces, with an estimated value of about HKD$258,000," writes HKEPC
