00:14Under U.S. federal law, travelers can carry as much cash as they choose, but must declare
00:21any form of currency worth over $10,000.
00:25How much cash are you going to travel with today?
00:27About $8,500.
00:30Organized crime groups frequently transport illegal currency across international ports
00:36of entry.
00:38You guys are good.
00:40Thank you, guys.
00:41I appreciate it.
00:42Have a safe trip.
00:46That dog was alerting on her.
00:49Today, moments before she tried to board a flight out of the U.S., a canine alerted to
00:58a Chinese national.
01:00Officers have discovered several bundles of concealed cash.
01:05Well, it looks like another package that's wrapped in plastic and foil.
01:11When asked, the woman failed to disclose the full amount of money in her carry-on.
01:17So a passenger for the trial was $6,800.
01:21Just alone in U.S. dollars, we found over $16,000.
01:26Not only has she withheld the truth, she's gone to great lengths to mask the money sent, a known
01:33smuggling technique.
01:35We're going to go ahead and pull her check luggage off a plane and thoroughly check all bags to see
01:42if there's any other currency that's going to hit him.
01:43In secondary, the search continues.
01:47We have to do a full thorough baggage check.
01:50We want to make sure that the amount is spot on.
01:55We don't want to be off by even $1.
02:25We want to make sure that the money is sealed in this shoe.
02:26We're looking for anybody that's not declaring, and there's going to be a lot.
02:55We want to make sure that the money is sealed?
02:56How are you doing?
02:57We're going together?
02:58Yeah, we're doing.
03:00Roughly 85% of cocaine seized and tested in the U.S. is traced back to Colombia.
03:09Purpose of travel? Vacation?
03:11All right, can I have your passports?
03:13All travelers entering the United States can be stopped and questioned by CBP officers.
03:19But special attention is given to anyone who may have been previously suspected of carrying narcotics.
03:27Today, Officer Kamey is on the lookout for a man who's just landed from Colombia.
03:33So right now we're waiting for an individual to come in from a flight from Bogota, Colombia.
03:37We're going to make sure he's not trying to smuggle contraband into the U.S.
03:41If he's found with even a small amount of an illicit drug,
03:45he could be charged with importing a controlled substance,
03:48which carries a maximum 20-year prison sentence.
03:53One of our officers will let us know that he's at their booth.
03:56We'll grab him, bring him downstairs.
03:59We'll just do a quick interview, ask him what he was doing on vacation, where he stayed,
04:03what the purpose of his trip was, just to kind of get a basis to see if his story makes
04:07sense.
04:08And then we'll go through every single pocket, every single thing,
04:11and make sure there's no contraband anywhere.
04:21As the target approaches primary, Officer Kamey moves in.
04:26Here.
04:29How are you, sir?
04:30You can follow me.
04:31We're going to go grab your luggage, okay?
04:33And takes him to secondary for a full baggage search.
04:38Perfect.
04:39Anything in your pockets at all that you have?
04:40Cell phone, wallet, keys, whatever you have, just put up here for me.
04:44All right, so have you ever been checked before?
04:46Yeah, I like the sender was in the lake.
04:48Okay.
04:49I'm a good guy, I'm a good guy, I promise.
04:51So we're going to go through the bag now.
04:54So just take a step back, let me see your hands at all times, it's just for safety, okay?
05:00All right.
05:01This is all the medication that you have?
05:03Correct.
05:04And it's all prescribed in your name?
05:05Yeah.
05:08What is this one for?
05:09Yeah, that's one, infections.
05:11For infections?
05:12Yeah.
05:13Okay.
05:20And then can you name every pill in here, just what they're used for?
05:26Officer Kamey discovers a case of vitamins.
05:28A common ploy for smugglers is to hide small quantities of illegal narcotics among supplements,
05:35so she must be thorough.
05:38I pretty much get all my vitamins here, so I need to verify that before.
05:44Anytime we have anything like that, we try to make sure it doesn't match any of our narcotics
05:49that are prohibited, so those all look over-the-counter, they're labeled.
05:54Even though the pill case is clean.
05:56A lot of people sometimes forget things in their pockets, so we always try to make sure
06:01there's nothing left behind in there.
06:06It's not long before Officer Kamey finds something suspicious.
06:10And what are all those different cell phones for?
06:13Not only are multiple cell phones a known indicator in criminal activity.
06:19Who's this?
06:20The man is traveling with someone else's ID.
06:36The dog was alerting on her.
06:38So a passenger ordered traveling with $6,800.
06:43It's all loaded in U.S. dollars.
06:44We found over $16,000.
06:47In Detroit, a passenger has been found concealing thousands of dollars.
06:52She's got money to steal in the shoe.
06:54She does?
06:55Let me see.
06:57The same tin floor.
07:00Following her initial declaration of $6,800,
07:04officers have found an additional $15,000,
07:08as well as bundles of Chinese and Japanese currency,
07:13leading them to suspect she could be involved in a money laundering scheme.
07:18All right.
07:19That's real money, bud.
07:22And experience tells officers there may be more.
07:26So while we're going through the bags,
07:27it's very, very, very important that we look for some type of similarities
07:31between what we found in the carry-on luggage and the check luggage.
07:34So if there's any type of closed containers wrapped up in foil or plastics that's taped together,
07:41I wouldn't be surprised if there's a lot of similarities.
07:43In 2025, U.S. law enforcement exposed a group of Chinese nationals
07:49responsible for laundering over $92 million from drug trafficking and organized crime.
07:57Make sure you check the lining, too.
08:00That's what I'm doing.
08:01She's putting in the solar shoes.
08:03Down to the T, man.
08:07Oh, there's more.
08:09It's sealed in a coat.
08:10Is it?
08:11Yes.
08:12It's all wrapped up in a bag.
08:14Let me take a photo of that.
08:16Hey, guess what?
08:18Yep.
08:20Got another one.
08:22That was only one shoe.
08:23This is the second shoe in here.
08:25We got more.
08:34I'm confident there's nothing else in this bag.
08:37What's the total?
08:39$36,000?
08:40It's over $36,000.
08:41We're over $36,000.
08:43Officer Gumber suspects the aluminum foil could be a ploy to avoid canine detection.
08:50She's a very smart woman.
08:51The way she had wrapped it between the foil and the black plastic bag.
08:54This is not her first rodeo.
08:56I can tell you that for sure.
08:57She knows what she's doing.
08:58She's probably done this in the past before.
09:01With over $36,000 undeclared dollars recovered, Officer Gumber has some questions.
09:09Where did the money come from?
09:13Who are the friends?
09:16Please.
09:19How do you know Mike?
09:21This is my personal, this is my personal, the problem.
09:25I understand that, but you're carrying money from, you're taking money from someone else
09:29and you're transporting it outside of the United States.
09:32At this point, you're kind of making our business now.
09:36Listen, when you hide the money like this, it scares me because I need to know where the
09:41money is going and what the money is being used for.
09:43I want to trust you.
09:44I just need to verify what you're telling me.
09:47So if you don't want to give me information, I can't fully trust you what you're telling
09:50me.
09:50You understand?
09:53Okay.
09:55Okay, so who did you borrow money from besides Mike?
10:02Sam?
10:04Okay.
10:04Where does Sam work?
10:07Yeah, go ahead.
10:07That's fine.
10:11Without warning, the woman uses her phone for something officers aren't expecting.
10:18Whoa, whoa, excuse me.
10:19Whoa, whoa.
10:20What are you doing?
10:21Nothing.
10:22No, no, no.
10:23I need to know what you're doing, ma'am.
10:24Ma'am.
10:25Ma'am.
10:26What did you just do?
10:29What did you just do?
10:31Ma'am, what did you just do?
10:34I just checked the last name.
10:36You spoke into the phone.
10:37What did you say?
10:38Ma'am.
10:40Yeah.
10:40Put the phone down, please.
10:41Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:44The more you cooperate with us, the easier this whole process is going to go.
10:48If you do not cooperate with us, it's going to be a bumpy ride after all this.
10:54You gave me a hard time.
10:56I haven't given you any hard time.
10:57I'm just asking you a couple of questions.
10:59What is the money for?
11:01What's the money for?
11:02Mm-hmm.
11:02For doing my cancer surgery, medical pills.
11:06I have the cancer.
11:07I have long cancer labor call.
11:11They say I only have three or six months to leave.
11:29So we're going to go through the bag now.
11:32Just take a step back.
11:34In Newark, Officer Kamey is searching a Colombian citizen who's suspected of carrying narcotics.
11:41Not only has she found three cell phones.
11:45Who's this?
11:46He's carrying another man's ID, leading Officer Kamey to suspect theft or identity fraud.
11:53That's my, my, my husband.
11:56Why do you have his ID?
11:59That's his old one.
12:00I don't know.
12:01I'm Colombian.
12:02I'd like to have my loved one.
12:06Is he from the U.S. or he's Colombian as well?
12:08India.
12:09What made him move to Colombia?
12:12Me.
12:12You?
12:13Okay.
12:14And what are all those different cell phones for?
12:17Is one of them a work phone, business phone, or there's a personal device?
12:21My Colombian one, and this is, I just upgrade for the 16, 16 plus.
12:25So this one?
12:26That was my old one.
12:27Yeah, my 14.
12:28So my Colombian one is, it's like, I'm able to communicate in Colombia easier.
12:33And then this one, I don't, when I'm in Colombia, I'm not able to use my phone from the States.
12:38Officer Kamey is satisfied that the man has nothing to hide.
12:43This is all good.
12:45He explains that he was previously caught with traces of a party drug on a trip to the U.S.
12:57Yeah, that's how it usually happens.
12:59You can start packing all this back up.
13:01Yeah.
13:02You can go ahead.
13:03I try to make it the least messy as I could, okay?
13:05I appreciate it.
13:06Thank you for your energy.
13:08Appreciate it.
13:09No problem.
13:11Today the inspection was negative.
13:13It is a good day when someone's been inspected before that they don't make the same mistake
13:16twice, because we know they either learned their lesson or they're doing the right things
13:20as people.
13:39It's a good day when someone is in the right hands.
13:43It's a good day when someone is in the right hands, as people.
13:57San Francisco International is one of the busiest airports in the country and the West Coast's
14:03main gateway to Europe and Asia. Every day we're getting flights from China, Korea, London. United
14:11States citizens coming back from London always have some type of luxury goods. We've got some
14:16Scottish guys coming in yesterday. That was the first time I've ever seen anybody from Scotland.
14:20Here. Officer Giannis is one of 60,000 CBP officers on America's front line, protecting the country
14:28and its people from harm. I think what's unique about this job is the amount of interactions that
14:35you get. It's literally my job to be nosy and you get to ask people all types of questions. Some
14:42of
14:42them very personal. A lot of the time you'll go into a conversation with somebody thinking I may
14:48think they're working here. And then you turn the corner, open their bags and you got lingerie
14:53and handcuffs and all of a sudden, ooh, maybe it's not the type of work that I thought that
14:57you were doing. At the end of the day, if I did my job to the best of my ability,
15:03I'm sleeping
15:03well at night. Hello, good afternoon. All right, we're going to take a quick twirl of glasses
15:10off, okay? Rising tariffs have caused a surge in Americans purchasing luxury goods in Europe,
15:20where they're cheaper. Hello, ma'am. How's it going? Can I see your passport, please? By low,
15:28all purchases made by U.S. citizens abroad must be declared in an import duty paid on anything over
15:36$800. How's it going? Good and bring your items over here. Today, Officer Jacobson is processing
15:45passengers arriving on the afternoon flight from London. Are she with you? No. Yes. Yeah. Fine,
15:53you guys are all together, so we're going to screen you guys all together, okay? She selected a family
15:59of three from Hawaii for secondary inspection after they declared some designer goods bought in Europe.
16:06Can I see the receipts for those items, please?
16:16Thank you. And what did you purchase? Bags. Bags? How many?
16:22Anything else that you guys purchased? Experience tells Officer Jacobson that travelers will often make
16:30partial declarations hoping to avoid paying duty. I'm just going to check the bags. Just don't reach
16:36or touch the bags while I'm checking them, okay? And who's the merchandise for? You? And him.
16:42And him? Okay. Did you purchase anything? No. No? Okay. She did? What did she purchase?
16:51One of those. I bought it in Italy. Their story quickly unravels as they declare a third designer bag
17:01bought for their daughter. So it was all on the same receipt, correct? No.
17:06So I only received one receipt. Is there? Okay. Which bag do you think it's in? I don't remember.
17:12You don't remember? Did you declare it in primary?
17:15I did. Okay. No, because we weren't sure what was going on. I mean...
17:23As the couple struggles to straighten out their story, Officer Jacobson suspects they have something
17:30to hide. You guys are responsible to declare it. And if you don't, there might potentially be a penalty
17:53as well.
17:55What is the money for?
17:57In Detroit, a Chinese traveler is suspected of trying to smuggle over $36,000 out of the U.S.
18:15The woman insists she failed to declare the money because she needs it for medical treatment back
18:21home. But Officer Gumber is skeptical.
18:25She didn't want to go into detail about the procedure. She didn't want to divulge where the money
18:29exactly was coming from when we were asking for contact information, names. So these are all red flags
18:35to us. My biggest thing is this can be used for anything regarding narcotics, drugs, any terrorist
18:41activities. It can even go to trafficking, human trafficking, which is a billion-dollar industry.
18:47Not only is she withholding information...
18:51Excuse me. What are you doing?
18:54I'm acting.
18:54She made a phone contact with one of her donors without officer's authorization.
19:00Listen.
19:03You're making this harder than it has to be now at this point.
19:06I'm asking you simple questions, and now you're just lying to me left and right.
19:09I'm not lying.
19:11Okay.
19:12Who did you message?
19:14Who did you send a voice message to?
19:16Okay.
19:17Who is that?
19:19It's my friend.
19:20Which one?
19:21Sam?
19:21Uh-huh.
19:22Do not touch the phone. Just leave the phone, please.
19:24Okay.
19:26What is your relationship to Sam?
19:28It's your friend.
19:29Okay.
19:29How much money did Sam give you?
19:35I don't want to follow you.
19:39You're subject to search and seizure, okay?
19:42Anyone coming in and out of the United States is subject to inspection.
19:46This is an inspection.
19:47You lied to federal officers.
19:49I'm not lying.
19:50You did lie.
19:51You did lie.
19:52You say my lie.
19:53Okay.
19:54So right now, right now, I need to know how much money Sam gave you.
20:00$5,000.
20:02How much of the money of the $36,000 was not borrowed?
20:07As the $20,000 is from China.
20:10And so $20,000 of that was yours?
20:11Yes.
20:14She insists the money is for cancer treatment, but can't provide any proof.
20:20As Officer Gumber consults his supervisor, the woman collapses.
20:26Are you okay, ma'am?
20:44Are you okay, ma'am?
20:46Are you okay, ma'am?
20:46Are you okay, ma'am?
20:47Why don't you have to come up here and have a seat, okay?
20:49In Detroit, a Chinese national who failed to declare $36,000 hidden throughout her luggage
21:00is claiming it's for cancer treatment.
21:03We're almost done.
21:05Hello.
21:06How you doing?
21:09Need a wheelchair, ma'am?
21:11Having failed to produce any evidence of a realness or the money's origin, officers reach a decision.
21:18I'm going to explain something to you here.
21:21So because you didn't report the money, it's subject to seizure.
21:26$36,169.
21:28That's what we're seizing?
21:31You can contact the fines, penalties, and forfeitures office.
21:36So within 30 days, send them an email, say, this is my case number.
21:40What do I need to do to get the money back?
21:43Okay.
21:44If she can prove where the money came from, she could get it back after paying a fine for
21:50failing to declare anything over $10,000.
21:54Thank you so much.
21:55You're welcome.
21:57But officers will have to be convinced that it's not being used for anything nefarious.
22:03At the end of the day, we definitely want to get to the bottom of where this money's coming
22:06from and where it's being used for.
22:08So our job is to make sure that none of this money's being used or funded for anything illegal
22:16that's harmful to anyone in and out of the states.
22:39So did you declare it in primary?
22:45In San Francisco, Officer Jacobson is inspecting a family from Hawaii, who initially declared
22:52two designer bags, but now admit to having a third.
23:00When asked whether they'd mention the extra bag in primary, their answers conflicted.
23:05Do you guys live in the same household?
23:08Yes.
23:09Officer Jacobson suspects there's more to be found.
23:13I don't think we understand, like, what's going on here.
23:17So as United States citizens, you guys are allowed an $800 exemption per person.
23:23So since you guys are a family, that's $2,400 that you guys are exempt from.
23:30Anything over $2,400, you are responsible to pay duty.
23:37So that is basically taxes.
23:38Yes.
23:40Any clothing that you guys purchased there?
23:43That's this, the jacket.
23:44This is the jacket?
23:45How much was the jacket?
23:46$2,000.
23:47$2,000.
23:48Do you also have the receipt for that?
23:50It's with her purse receipt?
23:53Okay.
23:54As Officer Jacobson coaxes out yet another admission, the list of items liable for import
24:00duty doubles.
24:02So we have $4,000 with the purses in the bag.
24:06Then we have $2,000 with the jacket.
24:08Then how much was her purse?
24:10$2,000.
24:11So I should be able to find one more receipt with the jacket and her purse, correct?
24:16Okay.
24:21That's the receipt.
24:23So this is the purse and this is the jacket?
24:25Yeah.
24:25The jacket was more expensive than the bag.
24:29All right.
24:30Hey, shush.
24:31Okay.
24:34Your dutyable amount is $7,639.
24:37So we'll calculate the duty right now.
24:40Oh, okay.
24:40Is that like a percentage?
24:41Yeah, so there's a certain percentage per item.
24:45If there's handbags, it's 9%.
24:49Since they purchased multiple different items, such as a purse and a jacket, I am just going
24:58to generalize the items and do one set percentage for everything to make it easier for everyone.
25:06The percentage that I'm going to charge you for is 5% on the $7,639.
25:15What do we have to do to...
25:17You're just going to pay duty today and then problem solved.
25:21Just bought it in Hawaii.
25:23Yeah.
25:24This means a lot of it's cheaper there than in the U.S.
25:29We didn't even know that.
25:30See, we didn't educate ourselves.
25:32I guess we should have.
25:35Even though Officer Jacobson has been lenient, it's still an expensive lesson.
25:41And so the total we agreed on was $361.
25:48Okay, here are your two receipts.
25:50You guys are all set.
25:52Have a nice day.
25:53Okay, thank you.
25:54You're welcome.
25:54Take care.
26:22I get a little noisy.
26:26Oh, they're quiet.
26:27Oh, there you go.
26:30At over 1,500 strong, Customs and Border Protection operates the largest canine unit in the country.
26:38Good boy.
26:43I know, I know.
26:44I miss you, too.
26:45Yeah.
26:49My canine's name is Magnus.
26:51He's two years old.
26:53He's trained in narcotics and human detection.
26:57He's a beautiful dog.
26:59The moment I had him on the leash, I was like, oh, yeah, this is definitely going to be my
27:03dog.
27:03And our, like, connection was just like automatics.
27:08You know, our bond gets stronger every day.
27:13Magnus, the Belgian Malinois, has undergone a seven-week training program in how to detect narcotics.
27:21Right now we're going to head to the mail facility.
27:24We've been getting a lot of marijuana seizures heading to London, so, like, outbound to London.
27:37Hey, boy.
27:39Ready to go find some drugs?
27:43Officers Senherjo and Magnus are one of an army of canine units.
27:48Hey, boy.
27:49Deployed to JFK's International Mail Facility every day, working to stem the flow of outbound narcotics.
27:56Hey, boy.
27:58They begin by carrying out a broad sweep of the mail facility, known as a first pass.
28:05If Magnus picks up a scent, he'll alert his handler by sitting down.
28:10Over here.
28:12Come on.
28:14Boy.
28:16With no hits, they move on to a crate of UK-bound mail that's been singled out for a search.
28:23That's it.
28:25London.
28:29Good job.
28:37So there's probably something in here, so I'm going to open it up and see, because this is London.
28:44The UK is seeing a surge in demand for high-potency marijuana from the U.S., fueling profits for organized
28:52crime groups.
28:54Let's see.
29:01Good boy.
29:03So right now, Magnus did alert to that bag, so we're going to open up and see.
29:19Good boy.

29:29Good boy.
29:35Good job, Magnus.
29:38Good boy.
29:40That's a good boy.

29:47So in this parcel, it looks like we got...
29:49It appears to be marijuana.
30:21You're right, ma'am.
30:22you're all set welcome home thank you so much next cbp's agricultural specialists are the
30:29guardians of america's food supply sir do these have meat in there no have a bit of wall yeah
30:38inspecting passengers belongings for pests and diseases that could decimate u.s crops and
30:44livestock okay so what do we have in here egg yeah the egg piece from this one oh yeah you
30:51guys are good
30:52to go today a ghanaian man has been referred for questioning after failing to declare the full
31:01contents of his luggage to agricultural specialist newabugu before we open the back we had a
31:09conversation with him asking if he has any meat or meat product i said no he does not so why
31:16the bags
31:17we are going through the x-ray we found something we opened the bag and then found it looks like
31:28a
31:29grass cutter a grass cutter also known as a cane rat is one of africa's largest rodents
31:38adult males can grow up to two feet long and weigh 20 pounds its high protein meat
31:44is considered a delicacy in west africa it's not allowing the country it's considered as a
31:50prohibited animal african bush meat can carry fatal diseases such as ebola and anthrax
31:59and this half-cooked carcass has been unrefrigerated since leaving ghana over 15 hours ago
32:08at the primary the officer asked do you have meat on mikado said no at the point over here you
32:18were
32:18given second opportunity to the owner said no all right and i opened the bag i found meat that was
32:24what
32:24happened all right so can i change it hold on changing the stories don't like science you said
32:29meat so initially i thought you are talking about a cow that's the reason why i said there is not
32:38a
32:38meat so listen i'm my brother i can never agree with you i can never agree with you me i'm
32:44not a lady so
32:46listen the the contradicting is uh the fake uh you're talking to me you get penalties here not
32:52because you brought the other cultural products i want you to pay attention so i want you to pay
32:57attention now all right so we're not expecting you to know everything you have to bring to the united
33:02state state but we're expecting you to declare what you have when we ask you all right so most penalty
33:08is good because you lie for failing to declare the dead rodent in his bag the man faces a 300
33:16fine
33:42in detroit a man from ghana has failed to declare a dead camera
33:47rat in his luggage the animal is known to carry infectious diseases that can be fatal if they
34:01spread to humans
34:11fines aren't issued for accidentally bringing banned foods in the country
34:15but for knowingly attempting to smuggle them in if the traveler is suspected of deception
34:22the penalty could rise to 250 000 dollars actually i don't know that they don't
34:29accept the bush meat and even it's my first time that traveling going along with this meat
34:36if i knew it's not allowed it's not like uh i was ignorant no i'm not ignorant i'm a very
34:43gentle
34:43person just that i didn't know if i knew i wouldn't even come along with it no no no no
34:50before he decides on the man's punishment officer nuwabugwu makes disposing of the carcass a priority
34:57we need to complete this for us to have authorized authorization to destroy the bush meat that's it
35:05bush meat usually have a lot of diseases each time we found it we have to call the center for
35:13disease control
35:15after 15 hours without refrigeration the dead rodent is rife with dangerous bacteria so it needs to be
35:23disposed of quickly and safely because it is a quarantine item we dispose of it properly to make
35:32sure that the viruses that are potentially in this product are uh destroyed it gets what's called steam
35:42sterilization extremely high pressure that uh basically compacts the garbage and crushes it and
35:49kills all the viruses once the hazard is taken care of officers deliver their verdict
35:58this is the first time coming to united states you don't say i don't know anything you don't expect
36:04you to know everything but i didn't leave it because you have this lighting in your bath i asked you
36:10give you three times opportunity together you fell but i'm letting you blow
36:18i'm telling you to go today but next time if you do it you're gonna go
36:23just want you to give us a line the traveler is given the benefit of the doubt since this is
36:30his
36:30first time coming to america thank you very much for not putting me in trouble because it's my first
36:38time coming here i don't know if i knew yeah i wouldn't even put myself into trouble like this now
36:43you're
36:43fully aware if you bring it next time why should i do that so that's how it works no no
36:50no no no i'm not
36:51going to do that you're going to give you back your passport and then you'll be on your way i
36:56think
36:57that he was kind of frightened so he thought he's going to get penalty from us this is the first
37:05time
37:05he has brought in the prohibited item all right like bushman so because of that
37:13he wasn't issued a penalty it's a lesson he'll never forget right after here i'll go through and
37:21then i also indicates my bullets or whoever my friends that's next time when they also come in
37:26here they have to be very careful that they won't fall into this trap so i feel good about inspection
37:34and i am happy that i'm able to go to the country
37:59so in this parcel it looks like we got marijuana at jfk's mail facility

38:12this is always going out to london it's a big commodity there big money there so they're sending
38:18it every day and we just we find it all the time i guess they're making more money of going
38:23to europe

38:58is it's very packed in and they all have this similar weight it's usually around one kilo
39:05you can squeeze it and kind of fill and if you as you're squeezing it there's like a small odor
