Plant one grain of millet in spring and harvest ten thousand seeds in autumn. As soon as the rain has passed, agricultural seed preparation and sowing have begun.

Recently, under customs supervision, a batch of 18.9 tons of spinach seeds from Denmark arrived at Qingdao Port and were immediately transported to the temporary storage warehouse for imported seedlings under the policy of "conditional removal of imported seedlings".

The "conditional removal of imported seedlings" is a convenient measure introduced by the General Administration of Customs for imported seedlings. It refers to imported seedlings that have been sampled and sent for inspection without any abnormalities found during on-site inspection at the port, and can be allowed to be removed from the customs supervision area of the port of entry and stored in a place that meets the requirements before the laboratory quarantine and identification results are issued, according to the application of the enterprise. After the laboratory quarantine and identification results are issued, the enterprise shall handle the customs clearance procedures with the customs release notice.

Storing seedlings in an environment with suitable temperature, humidity, and other conditions in advance can greatly maintain their activity, ensure the quality and survival rate of seedlings, "said Shao Chuandong, General Manager of Shandong Jinzhongzi Agricultural Development Co., Ltd." Conditional lifting can increase the survival rate of seedlings to over 95%, saving us more than 100000 yuan in costs

Shandong Port Qingdao Port imports over a hundred types of seedlings annually, covering multiple agricultural categories such as fruits, vegetables, flowers, grains, and oils. To address the industry pain points of "high requirements and easy wear and tear" for imported seedlings, Qingdao Dagang Customs, a subsidiary of Qingdao Customs, focuses on the actual needs of enterprises and creates a "one-stop" customs clearance service model for seedling imports based on the policy of "conditional withdrawal of imported seedlings".

We classify and guide enterprises to make good use of policies such as' two-step declaration 'and' conditional withdrawal 'based on information such as the types of imported germplasm resources, countries of origin, ship schedules, flights, etc. We open up a' green channel 'for agricultural materials, provide convenient measures such as appointment inspection and online document review, and ensure that high-quality germplasm resources are' checked and withdrawn immediately upon arrival, and released immediately after passing the inspection and review ', "said Ao Shijin, head of the Inspection Department of Qingdao Dagang Customs.
