Chapter: 4791

During this process, if no abnormalities are found, they will be directly cleared and sent on board the passenger flight. However, once any abnormalities are detected in the luggage, customs officers will immediately inspect it.

Generally speaking, contraband goods that have been carefully concealed usually have good concealment properties. Additionally, when departing from a country, the risk is much lower compared to arriving in-country, so this stage is relatively more relaxed. Criminals have at least a 50% chance of successfully passing through customs.

However, upon landing, the incoming customs inspection will be much stricter because many countries and regions have strict inbound standards. Some countries even prohibit carrying any fresh fruit, let alone on a flight. If a passenger brings an apple on board and hasn't finished eating it by the time they land, and is discovered by customs, they will face severe punishment.

So, the biggest challenge is actually in the inbound stage.

In this stage, the chances of success will drop to around 30%.

Combining this with the first-stage 50%, the overall pass rate is roughly 15% above.

It's precisely because the success rate is so low that these new types of contraband goods are so expensive in East Asia, retailing for over $2,000 per kilogram, making them exclusive products for super-rich individuals.

As long as Ma'er can successfully land on Hong Kong Island and pass through customs with her contraband goods, their value will be over $1 million.

At this moment, Ma'er is sitting in a luxurious first-class lounge, sipping coffee while taking photos to post on social media.

Her caption is: "Getting ready to depart for home, my heart is filled with a mix of reluctance. My private jet is being serviced at the Baybrook company, so I can only compromise and take a seat on an ordinary commercial airliner."

After editing her social media post, she also specifically blocked Ye Chen, Xiao Rou, and Xiao Changkun.

As soon as she finishes posting to her friends circle, she calmly makes a video call to Xiao Churan.

At this moment, Ye Chen and Xiao Churan have already left New York and are starting to return to Providence.

Xiao Churan, sitting in the copilot's seat, answers the video call from her mother and asks, "Mom, have you boarded yet?"

"Not yet," Ma'er laughs, saying, "I'm still waiting for boarding, I'm resting in the first-class lounge right now!"

Xiao Churan reminds her, "Then please make sure to pay attention to the time, don't let it affect your boarding. You should start boarding half an hour before takeoff."

Ma'er disdainfully says, "Oh, what's there to be afraid of? I'm a respected first-class passenger, and if I don't board, they won't dare take off again. Besides, when the time comes, they'll definitely announce my name over the intercom to remind me to board. By then, it won't be too late."

Xiao Churan helplessly says, "Mom, if you just board a little earlier, we could avoid all this trouble and solve things smoothly."

Ma'er snickers, saying, "Foolish daughter, we spent so much money on our ticket, don't you know that? If not, why should our ticket be worth several times more than others'? It's only natural to give them some trouble."

Xiao Churan only feels a sense of exasperation.

Sometimes, she feels like herself and her mother are like two people living in different worlds, completely unable to find a common frequency of communication.

Besides, she also knows that her mother's person is very decisive once she decides on a plan, no one can change her decision.

So Xiao Churan didn't say anything else, just reminding her mother, "Make sure to tell me when you board the plane before takeoff, so I can feel at ease."

Ma'er laughed and said, "Okay, okay, I know, don't worry about it, remind my good son-in-law to pay attention to safety, and I'll hang up first."

As she was speaking, Ma'er directly hung up the video call. JrNovels.com
