宾夕法尼亚州费城海关通报:宾州女子在费城机场未申报逾25万美元卡地亚珠宝被没收

宾夕法尼亚州费城市县费城市消息:据美国海关与边境保护局10月30日发布的公告,一名来自宾夕法尼亚州的女子10月25日从荷兰阿姆斯特丹搭机抵达费城国际机场时,因未申报高价珠宝被海关人员拦截,价值逾25万美元的卡地亚首饰随后均被没收。
该女子是全球入境计划会员,抵达后被指示转往二次行李检查,海关人员查获她购买的一条价值183818美元的卡地亚手镯与一枚价值67811美元的卡地亚戒指,两件珠宝总值超过25万美元。由于该女子未申报珠宝并涉嫌违反联邦海关法规,海关已将珠宝没收,并将取消她的全球入境计划会员资格。
海关费城口岸主管 Elliot N. Ortiz 表示,全球入境计划为经过预先审核的低风险旅客提供快速通关便利,但会员必须遵守美国法律、如实申报境外购买的商品,违规者可被暂停或取消会员资格。经常往返中美的旅客购买名牌珠宝、手表等高价商品后,切勿认为自用物品无需申报,应遵守海关规定以免遭没收或面临其他处罚。

Pennsylvania: Woman's Undeclared Cartier Jewelry Worth Over $250,000 Seized at Philadelphia Airport, CBP Says
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania — A Pennsylvania woman arriving at Philadelphia International Airport from Amsterdam on Oct. 25 was stopped by customs officers for failing to declare high-value jewelry, and Cartier pieces worth more than $250,000 were seized, U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced Oct. 30.
The woman, a Global Entry member, was referred to a secondary baggage inspection, where officers found a Cartier bracelet she had purchased for $183,818 and a Cartier ring worth $67,811 — together more than $250,000. Because she did not declare the jewelry and is suspected of violating federal customs law, CBP seized the pieces and will revoke her Global Entry membership.
Elliot N. Ortiz, CBP's area port director for Philadelphia, said Global Entry offers expedited clearance to pre-screened, low-risk travelers, but members must obey U.S. law and truthfully declare goods bought abroad, and violators can have their membership suspended or revoked. Travelers who frequently fly between China and the United States should not assume personal-use luxury goods such as brand-name jewelry and watches are exempt from declaration.
