In the Year of the Horse, the horse never stops to assist in spring plowing

The Spring Festival of the Year of the Horse has just passed, and Ningbo Customs has established a green channel for spring plowing agricultural materials based on the "Pro Qing Direct Train · Enterprise Needs Customs Response" mechanism to assist enterprise development. The smooth connection has opened up the "Spring Plowing Escort Mode".

Recently, a batch of 621 tons of compound fertilizer from Huaken International Trade Co., Ltd. was successfully cleared and released by Ningbo Customs. The deputy general manager of the company, Irina, said, "Before the Spring Festival, the customs officers of Ningbo Customs took the initiative to contact us to understand the import plan and helped us review the documents in advance through the appointment overtime mechanism. As soon as the ship docked, it was immediately inspected and released, almost achieving 'zero waiting'. This not only saved our logistics costs, but also gave us more confidence in ensuring this year's spring plowing production

In response to the strong timeliness and urgent demand for spring plowing materials, Ningbo Customs actively guides enterprises to adopt paperless methods such as "online declaration" and "electronic payment" to carry out operations. At the same time, enterprises are encouraged to independently adopt various modes such as two-step declaration, advance declaration, and guarantee release to quickly clear customs and ensure timely inspection and release of agricultural materials.

In January, Ningbo Customs approved a total of 12 batches of imported agricultural materials such as fertilizers and pesticides, with a value of 11.373 million yuan, an increase of 20.0% and 30.5% year-on-year, respectively.

After the holiday, it is a critical period for spring plowing production. On the basis of ensuring efficient customs clearance of Spring Festival livelihood materials, we will quickly shift our efforts to spring plowing preparation, implement appointment clearance and priority review measures, and ensure that fertilizers, pesticides and other materials are inspected and released as soon as they arrive, "said Che Yanhong, head of the import department of Haishu Customs under Ningbo Haiguan.
