The nearest port of Tianjin is a bit busy. Before the Spring Festival, imported frozen aquatic products arrived in Hong Kong, and South American white shrimp, black tiger shrimp, hairtail fish, and king crab ......After the imported special aquatic products from all over the world are quickly cleared here, they are immediately sent to all parts of the country, from the people's New Year's goods list to the festival table, adding fragrance and color to the Chinese New Year.
The quality of this batch of king crabs is very good, the largest can reach 2 kg each, and it will be shipped to the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei market after inspection, adding another 'hard dish' to the festival table of our domestic consumers! As the first freight company of this batch of king crabs that have just arrived in Hong Kong, Yang Haibao, the person in charge of Jinyi Penghong International Logistics (Tianjin), said happily.
The Spring Festival is the most solemn traditional festival in China, and since the beginning of the lunar month, not only the sales of local New Year's goods have come one after another, but also the "foreign" New Year's goods have also poured into the domestic New Year's goods market, from seafood and meat to fresh fruit and wine, all kinds of sumptuous and delicious food to add a New Year's flavor to the upcoming Chinese New Year.
It is necessary to "lock freshness" and safety
The hot scene of customs clearance of imported fresh food is also staged at Nanjing Lukou Airport. Every day, flights carrying fresh and chilled products such as Bengal blue crab and yellow eel, Thai durian, and Malaysian frozen sea cucumber enter the country here, and the variety of goods is very rich.
With the resumption of international freight routes and the recovery of the imported fruit consumption market, the variety and quantity of imported fruits continue to grow. Zhou Shouming, customs manager of Ningbo Ouheng chain management, told reporters that on January 27, the company had just picked up 4 tons of fresh plums from Nanjing Lukou International Airport and shipped them to Nanjing and surrounding provinces and cities.
Since January 12, about 1,500 kilograms of durian have been transported from Bangkok, Thailand, to Nanjing Lukou International Airport every day. Luo Chengzhong, chairman of the Global Port Chain (Guangzhou), which specializes in durian import business, also said that in recent years, imported fruits have become a souvenir for Chinese people to visit relatives and friends. "During this year's Spring Festival, we have laid out in advance, organized overseas high-quality supplies, and strictly selected and negotiated products, so that fresher and more preferential fresh products can continue to stabilize the Spring Festival market. ”
The arrival of New Year's goods in Hong Kong puts forward higher requirements for the timeliness of customs clearance. Compared with ordinary goods, these fresh goods have the characteristics of short shelf life, easy to die and rot, and high transportation requirements. Cargo flights mostly arrive late at night, and if customs clearance is not timely, it will affect the quality and delivery cycle of fresh goods, and enterprises will face a lot of losses.
To this end, Nanjing Lukou Airport Customs has set up a special class for fresh food inspection support to provide import enterprises with a "one-stop" service for the whole process, reducing the cost of warehousing and logistics for enterprises. "We reasonably arrange the inspection according to the arrival time of the goods, accurately control the joint points, and efficiently connect the customs clearance links, so as to 'grab the fresh' for the 'umami'. Zhang Pei, the fourth-level senior organizer of Nanjing Lukou Airport Customs, said.
Since the beginning of this year, Tianjin Xingang Customs has supervised the import of about 90,000 tons of frozen aquatic products, with a value of 24100 million yuan. Zhou Mingtao, director of the second comprehensive business department of Tianjin Xingang Customs, said that in order to do a good job in the import clearance of New Year's goods in an all-round way and protect the Spring Festival consumer market, the customs has established a tripartite appointment inspection linkage mechanism of customs-wharf-enterprise, sharing information on goods to be inspected, scientifically dispatching, dividing orders, and proposing, so that imported frozen aquatic products can be "inspected at any time", and at the same time collect and track food safety risk information, carry out professional monitoring of animal diseases and heavy metal residues, and ensure the safety of the people's tongue.
Cross-border e-commerce sent "mix and match" products
There is always a pot of mellow wine on the Chinese holiday table, and alcohol products have always been an indispensable presence in the annual list. Nowadays, more and more "foreign wines" are entering China through cross-border e-commerce retail channels, and "mixing" Chinese dishes to present different flavors.
With the increase in domestic consumers' understanding of imported alcohol products, the sales volume of imported wine in the domestic market has been rising. The Spring Festival is approaching, and our cross-border e-commerce business volume has also ushered in a wave of small growth peaks. Watching the packages full of "New Year's flavor" sent out from the company's warehouse to thousands of households, Wang Yang, general manager of Huai'an Manda Tesco, was very happy. According to him, the recent shipments have been very large, and the number of daily transactions has increased from about 20 to more than 200.
Wang Yang told reporters that since the beginning of this year, the import volume of cross-border e-commerce enterprises has increased a lot. In particular, French red wine and various daily necessities in the United Kingdom and Australia are very popular with domestic consumers, and the company's sales have reached 1.5 million yuan, an increase of more than 300% year-on-year. ”
For cross-border e-commerce imports, customs clearance efficiency is the core competitiveness. In order to efficiently ensure the smooth operation of cross-border e-commerce enterprises during the peak period, Huai'an Customs reasonably estimates the business volume on the basis of understanding the order situation of enterprises, allocates regulatory resources and introduces convenient measures such as making appointments for customs clearance, and the goods are checked and released in and out of the area "7 24 hours" to ensure that cross-border New Year's goods are marketed in the first time.
When the business demands of enterprises change at special nodes, they need to use modes such as 'advance declaration' and 'two-step declaration' to help them efficiently stock up and improve the efficiency of customs clearance, so as to effectively cope with the Spring Festival business peak. Zhang Min, chief of the special area management section of Huai'an Customs, said.
