上海海关11日宣布，海关总署2月份打响的“绿篱”专项行动在上海初战告捷：6000余吨走私废矿渣、115吨走私废轮胎落入法网，避免了这些“洋垃圾”可能对我国生态环境带来的危害。
据上海海关缉私局相关负责人介绍，此次查获的6000余吨废矿渣涉及两起案件，废矿渣来自西亚、东欧等地区。经检测，其中砷、镉等对生命健康有害元素严重超标。涉案的相关企业与海外供货商勾结，将废矿渣伪报成锌、铅、铜等矿石申报进口，并取得了境外检测机构出具的虚假检测报告，制作了虚假发票和合同，走私手法专业而隐蔽。
目前，这两起走私“洋垃圾”案已有八人被刑事拘留。
与废矿渣一样，上海海关近日查获的115吨废轮胎，也属于国家明令禁止进口的“洋垃圾”，而其申报的品名却为“再生橡胶带”。
上海海关监管通关专家李莉表示，用废轮胎提炼石化产品，可能产生有机污染物、有害气体和重金属污染物，所以对废轮胎走私必须严厉打击。
据统计，“绿篱”专项行动打响之后的两个月，上海海关与检验检疫、环保等部门密切配合，共查获58票进口货物涉嫌违规，涉及383个标准集装箱；共缉私立案11起，其中刑事案件3起。
shanghai seizes 6,000 tons of foreign waste
shanghai customs officials said thursday they seized 6,000 tonnes of waste tailings in march amid a crackdown on illegally imported garbage。
eight people have been detained in two cases for allegedly attempting to smuggle the tailings under fake documents that labeled them as metal ores, a customs official said. the seizure came after shanghai launched "operation green fence" in february。
officials have detected excessive amounts of arsenic and cadmium from the tailings, which could have caused contamination if processed by small refineries in china, said hu licong, a customs official in shanghai。
hu said the tailings were imported mainly from countries in western asia and eastern europe。
shanghai's customs also revealed on thursday that they have also intercepted 115 tonnes of waste tires, which china has banned from import over pollution concerns。
launched to strengthen supervision and crack down on imports of banned waste, the campaign has seen 383 containers of foreign waste seized for violating chinese regulations。
customs data shows that the busy port of shanghai handled imports of solid waste with a total value of 414 million u.s. dollars in 2012, up 3.2 percent year on year。
chinese law on the control of solid waste bans imports that can not be used as raw materials or be recycled by harmless means. high profits, however, have fueled smuggling, which is often conducted by conspiring with overseas organizations。
