I would suggest a lot of the "imports" are actually arriving afixed to the outside of merchant vessels. Most likely the vessels don't even know they are there.
The reality is if a gang were organised (and had balls of steel) it would not be at all difficult to take a small speedboat in good weather out past 200nm line and tranship at sea.
Small boats are hard to detect and in good weather some a capable of over 40kts sustained

Containers are also likely given the volume detection is a risk worth taking I guess.

Bad guys are hard to catch and dangerous and scary, where as law abiding are easy to find and not at all dangerous or scary!!
