Chinese customs seize ivory products, wolf skin

CHONGQING - Customs officers of Southwest China's Chongqing municipality have intercepted around 40 ivory products and a wolf skin recently.
Chongqing Customs said they detected a suspected inbound parcel last week and found 40 pendants made of ivory, weighing 353 grams, and a wolf fur. The skin measures 2 meters in length and 1 meter in width.
The items have been seized by customs in accordance with Chinese and international regulations.
The General Administration of Customs launched a campaign this year to crack down on prohibited goods through international mail delivery.
Over the past few months, Chongqing Customs said they have detected some prohibited goods sent by post, such as giant clam and ivory products, red coral, live insects, human placenta extract and drugs.
