On February 6th, at the Hongsheng Aquaculture Base in Renmin Street, Zhongshan City, transport vehicles loaded with fresh aquatic products were ready to go. The oxygenation equipment in the carriages roared, and live grass carp and mud carp swam happily in the water. Zhongshan Customs officers under Gongbei Customs were conducting local inspections intensively. In a few hours, this batch of "New Year's goods" will soon appear in the Hong Kong and Macau seafood markets, adding an auspicious symbol of "surplus every year" to thousands of households.
As the Spring Festival approaches, there is a strong demand for aquatic animals in the Hong Kong and Macau markets, and fish that symbolize good luck are particularly popular. This year's Spring Festival orders have increased compared to last year, and we don't have to worry about customs clearance efficiency by going through the 'green channel' of customs. "Chen Zhihua, the person in charge of Zhongshan Hongsheng Aquaculture Co., Ltd., said," In the past, we had to travel back and forth several times to handle export procedures, but now certificates can be printed by ourselves, and inspections can be scheduled in advance and inspected as soon as they arrive, saving time and worry
To ensure the freshness of aquatic animals and improve customs clearance efficiency, Zhongshan Customs continues to open a "green channel" for local inspection of fresh products, continuously optimizing regulatory models and improving service quality. Aquatic animals place great emphasis on the word 'freshness' and have extremely high requirements for transportation conditions and timeliness. From the pond to the dining table, every minute is a race against time, "said Tan Zhijian, head of the Inspection and Quarantine Department of the Zhongshan Customs Office in Shiqi
The "New Year's flavor" on the tip of the tongue is a "fresh link" connecting mainland China and Hong Kong and Macao, and a warm witness to the integration of people's livelihoods and blind dates in the Greater Bay Area. "During the Spring Festival, we will continue to support the" 7 × 24 "round the clock clearance of fresh products, provide appointment inspections, and ensure the safe and stable supply of fresh products to Hong Kong and Macao," said Tan Zhijian.
According to statistics, since January this year, Zhongshan Customs has supervised and released over 2000 tons of aquatic animals supplied to Hong Kong and Macao. (Tian Zizheng, Zhuang Yili/Wen)
