7. Cellphones

 

Smuggling cellphones into prisons might sound weird but that happened in June 2013 a cat was caught trying to smuggle in mobile phones and chargers in a Russian prison.

Justice has been served though, the cat was detained.

There are about 50,000 people living near the border, who cross the border between North Korea and China to trade and almost all of them have mobile phones, made in China of course and smuggled in.

In most of the Indian jails, there have been frequent incidents of smuggling of cellphones behind bars.
 
8. Cigarettes


                         

China is the biggest supplier of counterfeit cigarettes.

This may make you chuckle thinking of how everything is “made in China”; well it is not that far behind when it comes to counterfeit things.

This results in cheaper prices, no tax incomes for the government and poor and vulnerable people being the targets.

The quality of such counterfeit cigarettes is dodgy at best and giving competition to China in this department is Paraguay and Eastern Europe.

Cigarettes are the most smuggled in products in Canada.
