Chinese customs officers investigated 10,091 smuggling cases in the first ten months of 2001, up 6.03 percent from the same period of last year, the General Administration of Customs (GAC) said in a press release Friday.

The cases involved 4.74 billion yuan (about 573.16 million U.S. dollars), down 32.2 percent. GAC attributed the success to the tough anti-smuggling measures put in practice by the Chinese government.

From January to October, the customs authority put 1,228 suspected smuggling cases on file for investigation, with 6.08 billion yuan (735.19 million U.S. dollars) involved.
