Huanggang Customs Seizes 120 Hidden Game Cards in Passenger's Shoes

TapTechNews May 18th news, according to the Customs Release news, on May 7th, Huanggang Customs seized a case of a passenger hiding 120 game cards in the shoes and entering the country through the tourist inspection channel at the Futian Port.

It is reported that when a male passenger in a white T-shirt entered the country through the tourist inspection channel at the Futian Port on that day, the customs officer found that his walking posture was abnormal, and then immediately intercepted and inspected him. After inspection, it was found that there were 120 Switch game cards hidden in the sports shoes worn by this passenger.

The customs reminds: According to Article 7 of the Regulations of the People's Republic of China on the Implementation of Customs Administrative Penalties, evading customs supervision by means of hiding, disguising, concealing, false reporting or other ways, transporting, carrying, mailing goods and items that are prohibited or restricted from entering or leaving the country by the state or goods and items for which taxes should be paid according to law entering or leaving the country is a smuggling act, and legal responsibility will be pursued.

It is said that in the early era of the Famicom, sometimes there would be a phenomenon of poor contact of the game cartridge, and some players used the local method of licking the cartridge to solve the problem. And in the Switch era, in order to prevent children from swallowing, Nintendo added benzomethonium as a bittering agent to the game cartridge. However, this has attracted more adult players to try the taste of the cartridge, and even bloggers have conducted evaluations. Now licking the cartridge has gradually become a meme.

Here, TapTechNews reminds everyone again that licking the cartridge still needs to be cautious, especially for cartridges of unknown origin.
