To promote the honest and fair execution of enforcement activities, the General Administration of Customs issued Announcement No. 19 on 2 April 2012, listing new anti-corruption measures with respect to the giving and receipt of “red packets” (i.e. cash, securities, payment vouchers, commercial prepaid cards, etc.).
Customs units and officers are now strictly prohibited from accepting any kind of red packet from work contacts. Any customs unit or officer who accepts red packets, conceals their acceptance or distributes them privately shall be subject to disciplinary action. Criminal cases will be transferred to judicial bodies for prosecution.
Where a parent, spouse, child, in-law, any other relative of a customs officer, or any other person with a specific relationship with a customs officer, accepts red packets through leveraging the officer’s duties and powers, the customs officer will be investigated and punished in accordance with the relevant rules.
