联邦大陪审团起诉湾区进口商 Xin Mian Pan 等三人三公司：转运中国货物逃税逾1.09亿美元
2025年12月18日，美国司法部加州北区联邦检察官办公室宣布，联邦大陪审团已起诉湾区建材进口商 Xin Mian Pan（又名 Henry Pan）等三名个人与三家公司，指控他们合谋以转运、空壳公司等手法进口中国制造的建材产品，逃避超过1.09亿美元的反倾销税、反补贴税及其他关税。Pan 已于12月17日被捕，18日在旧金山联邦法院首次出庭，目前被联邦羁押。
被告还包括 Hua Liang Xie（又名 Nolan Xie，61岁，南旧金山居民）、中国籍人士 Jinhua Wang（又名 Johnson Wang，53岁），以及 Pan 在湾区经营的 Uni-Tile & Marble Inc. 与 Uni-Stone & Cabinet Inc.，和 Wang 旗下、位于中国深圳的货运代理公司 Shenzhen Top & Profit International Forwarding Co. Ltd.。Pan 本人63岁，住旧金山。起诉书于12月17日提交、18日解封。
起诉书指控，2018年9月至2023年8月，被告把中国制造的石英石产品、木制橱柜与浴室柜、陶瓷砖先运往马来西亚，再从马来西亚转运至奥克兰港，向海关与边境保护局（CBP）谎称货物产地为马来西亚；同时以空壳公司充当报关文件上的进口商与收货方、错误归类商品，并由持牌报关行 Xie 提交虚假报关单。据指控，涉案货物约520票，被告藉此少缴关税超过1.09亿美元。美国商务部此前对上述中国产品设定的反倾销与反补贴合并税率分别为：石英石产品341.47%、木制橱柜与浴室柜251.64%、陶瓷砖689.50%。
各被告被控共谋、共谋电汇诈骗、电汇诈骗、走私与以虚假陈述进口货物；Pan 与两家湾区公司另被控国际洗钱。若罪名成立，共谋罪每项最高5年监禁，电汇诈骗、走私每项最高20年，虚假陈述进口每项最高2年，国际洗钱每项最高20年。CBP 同时向 Uni-Tile 与 Pan 发出约2.225亿美元的预罚通知，指其以虚假陈述进口货物、违反《1930年关税法》第1592条。
加州北区联邦检察官 Craig H. Missakian 表示，被告被控逃避旨在保护美国制造商与美国就业的关税，使美国损失数亿美元，并损害守法经营的企业。司法部民事司副助理部长 Brenna Jenny 表示，逃避关税不是文书违规，司法部将通过其贸易欺诈特别工作组对此类行为处以重罚。国土安全调查局旧金山负责人 Tatum King 表示，将继续与 CBP、联邦检察官办公室等机构合作追责。此案由国土安全调查局与 CBP 调查，助理联邦检察官 Christiaan Highsmith、Aseem Padukone 与 Kelsey Davidson 负责起诉；Pan 定于12月19日在联邦治安法官 Thomas S. Hixson 主持下出席羁押听证。
起诉书仅为指控，全体被告在被法庭证明有罪之前均推定无罪。

Bay Area Importer Xin Mian Pan, Two Others and Three Companies Indicted in $109 Million Customs Duty Evasion Scheme
On December 18, 2025, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of California announced that a federal grand jury has indicted Bay Area building-materials importer Xin Mian Pan, also known as Henry Pan, two other individuals and three companies, charging them with conspiring to evade more than $109 million in antidumping duties, countervailing duties and other duties through transshipment, shell companies and other techniques used to import Chinese-made building products. Pan was arrested on December 17 and made his initial appearance in federal court in San Francisco on December 18; he is currently in federal custody.
The other defendants are Hua Liang Xie, also known as Nolan Xie, 61, of South San Francisco; Jinhua Wang, also known as Johnson Wang, 53, a national of China; Pan's Bay Area companies Uni-Tile & Marble Inc. and Uni-Stone & Cabinet Inc.; and Wang's China-based freight forwarding company, Shenzhen Top & Profit International Forwarding Co. Ltd. Pan is 63 and lives in San Francisco. The indictment was filed on December 17, 2025, and unsealed on December 18.
According to the indictment, from September 2018 through August 2023, the defendants shipped Chinese-made quartz surface products, wooden cabinets and vanities, and ceramic tiles first to Malaysia and then from Malaysia to the Port of Oakland, falsely telling U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) that the goods had been manufactured in Malaysia. They also allegedly used shell companies falsely listed on entry documents as the U.S. importer and recipient, misclassified products, and had Xie, a licensed customs broker, file false entry summaries. In total, the defendants allegedly imported approximately 520 shipments under the scheme, avoiding more than $109 million in duties. The U.S. Department of Commerce had set combined antidumping and countervailing duty rates of 341.47 percent on Chinese quartz surface products, 251.64 percent on wooden cabinets and vanities, and 689.50 percent on ceramic tiles.
The defendants are charged with conspiracy, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud, smuggling, and entry of goods by means of false statements; Pan and the two Bay Area companies are additionally charged with international money laundering. If convicted, they face up to five years in prison for each conspiracy count, 20 years for each wire fraud and smuggling count, two years for each false-statement entry count, and 20 years for each international money laundering count. CBP has also issued an approximately $222.5 million pre-penalty notice to Uni-Tile and Pan, jointly and severally, tentatively finding a violation of 19 U.S.C. § 1592.
United States Attorney Craig H. Missakian said the defendants are charged with evading customs duties intended to protect U.S. manufacturers and American jobs, cheating the United States out of hundreds of millions of dollars and harming honest businesses. Deputy Assistant Attorney General Brenna Jenny of the Justice Department's Civil Division said evading tariffs is not a paperwork violation and that the Department, through its Trade Fraud Task Force, will impose significant penalties. Tatum King, Special Agent in Charge of Homeland Security Investigations in San Francisco, said HSI will continue working with CBP and other partners. The case was investigated by HSI and CBP and is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Christiaan Highsmith, Aseem Padukone and Kelsey Davidson. Pan was scheduled to appear on December 19, 2025, for a detention hearing before U.S. Magistrate Judge Thomas S. Hixson.
An indictment merely alleges that crimes have been committed, and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
