Can Smuggled Vehicles Be Driven on the Road?
1 Answers
No, everyone knows that domestic vehicles must have license plates to be driven on the road, and to obtain a license plate, the corresponding taxes and fees must be paid, along with providing the vehicle's qualification certificate. These smuggled vehicles lack the necessary documentation, making it impossible to obtain a license plate, and thus the vehicle naturally cannot be driven on the road. Expansion: Regarding smuggled vehicles, there are two explanations. One is that they cannot be registered due to tax evasion, hence they are called 'water vehicles,' similar to how 'water goods' like iPhones are smuggled from Hong Kong. The second explanation is that these vehicles are luxury cars from Europe, America, and the Middle East that cannot be directly imported into the country through customs. Instead, they are transported via waterways to neighboring countries and then smuggled across the border. Purchasing smuggled vehicles is already suspected of constituting the crime of smuggling ordinary goods, with sentencing based on the amount of tax evaded.
