remember this?
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504083_162-20015516-504083.html
A German food conglomerate and several executives are under indictment on charges that they engaged in what amounts to honey laundering.
Federal prosecutors allege that 10 top executives of Alfred L. Wolff GmbH conspired to illegally import more than $40 million worth of honey from China between 2002 and 2009, and concealed its origin to avoid paying nearly $80 million in anti-dumping duties.
The U.S. Commerce Department has imposed anti-dumping duties on Chinese honey brought into the United States since 2001. The current duty is $2.06 per net kilogram.
