Los Angeles – / N2N / – U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials at Los Angeles/Long Beach seaport complex seized 860 boxes of drug paraphernalia arriving from China in a sea container. The domestic value of the shipment is estimated to be more than $2.6 million.

It is illegal to import, export or sale any type of drug paraphernalia in the United States. On November 17, CBP officers seized 316,068 pieces of drug paraphernalia, which were being imported to the United States.

“CBP is devoted to prevent the entry of drugs and drug paraphernalia from entering the United States,” said Jeannette Lewis, CBP acting director of Field Operations. “These are 316,068 pieces of drug paraphernalia which will not make it to the streets,” Lewis added.

CBP has a multi-layer approach to target containers inbound to the United States.

This particular shipment was selected for inspection before the shipment arrived from overseas. The commodity was described as glass figures and Christmas ornaments but the highly decorated glass pipes did not fool CBP officials. Drug pipes and bongs tend to be very decorative with bright colors and designs to attract young people.

The term paraphernalia refers to any equipment, product or material of any kind, which is primarily intended or designed for use in introducing into the human body a controlled substance. The items will be destroyed.
