CARAT AND THE STICK

The attempted smuggling of jew-
elry proved costly to one citizen,
according to the U.S. Customs Ser-
vice. A diamond ring and other
jewelry purchased in Hong Kong,
were not declared upon the return
to the United States. When ap-
proached by Customs officials, the
accused claimed that it was mere-
ly a "surprise gift" which he tried
to cover up with false mailing doc-
uments. When Customs officers un-
covered other jewelry concealed in
his suitcase, he claimed that he
had taken them overseas with him
when he left the U.S. These various
evasive efforts having failed the
man paid Customs penalties total-
ing $22,149.
