According to Sing Tao Daily (August 28), when Hong Kong and overseas law enforcement agencies conducted intelligence exchanges in early July, they found a group of artificial leather sent from Mexico to Hong Kong.Hong Kong Customs said that it is very rare for exporting artificial leather from Mexico, and the consignee is a textile company that has not had a record of artificial leather shipping in Hong Kong this year, so it is doubtful.
