A Study of the Maritime Container Smuggling / 海運貨櫃走私之研究

碩士 / 國立臺灣海洋大學 / 航運管理學系 / 107 / Customs Administration is an authority with two major job scopes, namely collecting custom duties and preventing smuggling activities.

Global terrorist attacks frequently reported after the 911 catastrophe. The U.S.A. government proposed the "Container Security Initiative (CSI)" and the "Megaports Initiative" to coordinate the leading container ports to strengthen noninvasive inspections for U.S.-bound exported containers. The World Custom Organization (WCO) also proposed "WCO SAFE Framework" and "AEO Safety Certification Quality Enterprise" to increase the awareness of logistics safety and to strengthen the supply chain safety. The Taiwan Custom Administration has proactively revised its relevant regulations and has also purchased high-tech instruments for non-destructive inspection. Thus the Taiwan Custom Administration can improve the health of local trading companies by complying with international regulations to reduce trade barriers.

This study reviews the organization structure of anti-smuggling authorities and their current anti-smuggling practices, and how these authorities screen the potential inspection targets with smuggling risk. This study analyzes the types of reported smuggling. There are many ways used by smuggler to get away from custom inspection, including miss-declaring cargoes. To clearly identify these loopholes and make corrections become an important issue to these anti-smuggling authorities.

The study raises the following correction proposals:
(1)Enforcing non-commissioned employees’ background review and enhancing their law-obeying attitude at the custom border.
(2)Strengthening to review the cargo manifests automatically. Increasing the frequency of instrumentation inspection on non-manual inspection containers.
(3)Establishing a smart monitoring system

Hopefully the major smuggling loopholes can be eliminated by the adoption of the abovementioned three suggestions and the custom authorities can effectively prevent the reoccurrence of similar smuggling practices, and finally the custom border security is fully protected.
