According to reports, with the increasingly frequent international exchanges and the rapid development of e-commerce, the number of illegal carrying and mailing animals and plants and their products into and out of the country is on the rise. In particular, with the rise of Haitao, international postal routes have increasingly become an important way for exotic pests, epidemic diseases, prohibition of entry and biological transmission. In 2016, a total of 4852 batches and 8973 kilograms of prohibited items were intercepted at Kunming Airport. Including alien species live insects, plant seeds, fox skins and so on. In the first quarter of this year, coffee bark beetles and coffee bean weevil were intercepted for the first time by express mail from Portland, USA. Once these two important pests are introduced, they will bring disastrous consequences to the coffee planting industry in our province. Our province is an important coffee planting base, with planting area and output accounting for more than 99% of the country's total.

"what we have intercepted most are foods containing meat and milk, including yogurt, cheese biscuits, beef jerky, beef strips, and other foods that are often eaten by children, all of which are prepared to enter the country through Haitao mail. I would like to remind you that these things purchased abroad have not been inspected and quarantined, and their quality and safety cannot be guaranteed. At the same time, there is a risk of bringing some epidemic diseases into the country. " Kunming Airport entry-exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau staff told reporters.
