Huangpu New Port Customs supervised the import of aquatic products in the first five months, with a year-on-year increase of over 2.5 times

With the continuous improvement of the consumption level of Chinese residents, the dietary needs of consumers are becoming more diversified. Imported frozen aquatic products such as Chilean king crab, Norwegian salmon, and Vietnamese basa fish are gradually becoming popular on people's dining tables. Recently, a batch of wild frozen squid with a total weight of 27 tons produced in Peru needs to be transported to the Huangpu New Port in Guangzhou. After being transferred from the dock to the cold storage, it will be supervised and released by the Huangpu New Port Customs under the jurisdiction of Huangpu Customs. The entire customs clearance process takes less than one hour.
Imported frozen aquatic products are an important supplement to domestic meat consumption, and the market demand continues to be strong. Imported frozen aquatic products rely entirely on low-temperature storage and transportation. If they are detained at the port for too long, it will not only affect the quality of fresh food, but also increase additional expenses such as cold chain warehousing and logistics, "said Chen Anping, manager of Penglai Anyang Food Co., Ltd.
In response to the needs of enterprises, Huangpu New Port Customs actively provides advanced services, proactively investigates the import plans, logistics routes, and customs clearance requirements of aquatic products for enterprises, arranges dedicated personnel to follow up throughout the process, and opens a "green channel" for the import of frozen aquatic products, achieving immediate inspection and release of goods upon arrival at the port, and fully guarantees the rapid clearance of cold chain goods.
While improving customs clearance efficiency and benefiting enterprises and the people, Huangpu New Port Customs has always strictly implemented the "four strictest" requirements for food safety, and built a solid defense line for the supervision of imported water products throughout the entire chain. On the one hand, we will strengthen the registration and import registration review of overseas production enterprises, with a focus on verifying the authenticity and validity of official inspection and quarantine certificates, to prevent the entry of unqualified aquatic products. On the other hand, the customs will conduct inspections and guidance on checkpoint control, temperature control of inspection platforms, professional inspection equipment and other facilities at the cold chain inspection site, strengthen the responsibility of the site operation entity, and ensure that regulatory standards are implemented throughout the entire process from hardware to operation procedures.
According to statistics, in the first five months of this year, Huangpu New Port Customs supervised a total of 294 tons of imported aquatic products, a year-on-year increase of over 2.5 times.
