Chinese customs foil smuggler with 420 SSDs concealed on his person

Chinese customs have apprehended a smuggler attempting to transport 420 M.2 SSDs worth around $32,984.94 from Macau to Zhuhai by strapping them to his body using tape. This incident is part of a trend where individuals try to avoid customs duties in China by smuggling tech components, such as iPhones and CPUs, for resale on the grey market. Despite the risks, many continue to use this method due to the potential for lucrative profits.
