Shop at your own risk: China e-commerce apps offer to ship contraband goods to Hong Kong
Smoke grenades, live animals and fresh meat are among the heavily regulated items readily available on mainland Chinese e-commerce sites for delivery to Hong Kong despite an official crackdown, the Post has found.
Listings on Taobao and Pinduoduo have been subject to increased scrutiny following the arrest last month of a 13-year-old Hongkonger who allegedly bought smoke grenades online.
Sources earlier said that the boy had bought the three smoke grenades for HK$92 (US$11.70) on Pinduoduo on July 10 and retrieved them from a pickup point in the city.
