Recently, the Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau found seeds weighing 20 grams hidden in a hollowed out magazine when inspecting the inbound mail. This was the first time that the Wenzhou port had intercepted illegally imported seeds in this disguise.
Unquarantined plant seeds may carry diseases and insect pests, furthermore, the genetically modified components are unknown and could be harmful to China's ecological environment, becoming a serious threat to the safety of agricultural production in China.
