CATCH THE BUZZ  
Chinese Honey  Laundered In US Finally Caught  
By Ron Phipps, CPNA International  
August 10, 2010  
This past week there  were a few significant developments regarding 
circumvention of honey. These  developments lend support to the current legislative 
efforts in the U.S.  Senate and Congress generally to stop the laundering 
of Chinese honey through  third countries. This past week the confession of a 
Taiwanese man in Los  Angeles was reported by the United States District 
Court-Northern District of  Illinois. The Taiwan confessed to shipping Chinese 
honey (50 containers) to  India and other containers to Thailand, South 
Korea and Taiwan for  transshipment to the USA to avoid paying high 
anti-dumping duties. He also  confessed to adulterating Chinese honey with sugars in a 
Taiwanese factory in  order to “increase profit margins.”  
Secondly, a Chinese apiculture scientist openly claimed in an  academic 
article that “A few Chinese honey exporters had to ship Chinese honey  through 
India or Malaysia to avoid high U.S. duties.” The problem of  circumvention 
is gaining national and international attention.
