A woman was caught by the customs officers at the Gongbei Port in South China’s Guangdong Province, with six bottles of Moutai liquor being strapped to her two legs, the General Administration of Customs of China said on Wednesday.

The woman from Hong Kong entered the port through the green channel on August 31. Customs officers at Gongbei noticed that her pace was stiff and her skirt had many irregular bulges, so they stopped her for inspection. Upon further examination, they found six bottles of the renowned Moutai liquor strapped in transparent film and elastic bandages tied to her thighs and calves. 

If individuals hide, disguise, conceal, falsely declare, or use other methods to evade customs supervision, and transport, carry, or mail goods or items prohibited or restricted from entering or leaving the ports, it constitutes smuggling.
