For anyone looking for the latest Interesting Maritime News, Fred Fry International’s Blog has a weekly post called “Maritime Monday” and it’s a must read. This week’s most popular post from Fred “Guangzhou Customs Intercepted and Captured “Imported Rubbish”
While China is well-known for exporting most everything under the sun. However, they are also big importers, mostly of raw materials. But their definition of raw materials is pretty broad to include about 40 different grades of ‘waste paper’ (including one that permits up to 5% non-paper material) as well as garbage.
Of course, there is a limit to what they will accept, and Chinese Customs is tasked with ensuring that the imported material is acceptable.
A Dirtiest Jobs exclusive worthy of a Mike Rowe trip to China!
