BEIJING, March 11 -- China will step up efforts to crack down on smuggling this year, the General Administration of Customs (GAC) said on Friday.

Yu Guangzhou, chief of the GAC, said this year's efforts will mainly focus on smuggling of grain, high-tech products, luxury items, guns and drugs.

"Customs authorities will strengthen cooperation with local governments to combat smuggling to ensure the health and safety of the Chinese people and the national interest," Yu said.

Customs at all levels detected 2,241 smuggling cases in 2015, involving 49.32 billion yuan (7.59 billion U.S. dollars). The cases were mainly about the smuggling of farm produce, drugs, weapons and waste.
