At present, spring plowing preparation has entered a critical farming season. Hangzhou Customs is closely monitoring the demand for spring plowing production seeds, focusing on the high timeliness requirements of imported fresh seedlings. With a "zero waiting" customs clearance mechanism and a "full chain" regulatory service dual wheel drive, it ensures efficient customs clearance of imported seedlings, arriving at the field in the first time, and providing solid guarantees for spring plowing production.
On March 16th, a batch of scallion seeds with a total weight of 230 kilograms arrived at Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport. After the goods arrived at the designated supervision site, the customs officers of Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport under Hangzhou Customs immediately conducted on-site inspection. Thanks to the convenience measures of "conditional removal", this batch of imported seeds that meet the conditions can be inspected and sampled at the port customs without waiting for quarantine and identification results at the port. They can be directly transported to the enterprise's dedicated storage site in Jiaxing, achieving "immediate inspection and removal". After waiting for the quarantine and identification results to be issued, the enterprise can then handle the customs clearance procedures at the port.
"The freshness of seedlings is vitality, and the 'green channel' of the customs makes our products' run faster '." Zhou Fahua, the import director of Hongyue Flower Co., Ltd., which imported this batch of seeds, said that many batches of lily, azalea, thousand day red and other seed seedlings have been imported this year, and each batch has been inspected and released on the same day.
Spring plowing and seedling planting cannot be delayed. On the premise of strictly adhering to the national biosafety bottom line, we guide enterprises to make good use of facilitation policies such as' conditional withdrawal of imported seedlings' and 'early declaration', and promote further optimization of customs clearance processes, "said Xu Yandan, head of the Customs Supervision Department at Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport. At the same time, the airport customs has opened a green channel for spring plowing materials, relying on designated supervision sites for imported seedlings to implement "7 × 24 hour" inspection, on-site inspection, and immediate release, ensuring that seedlings are transported to the fields in the best condition.
In order to ensure that the introduction of seedlings is not only "fast" but also "safe", Hangzhou Customs continues to optimize its supervision mode, strengthen the coordination and linkage between ports and localities, use on-site and video supervision methods, strengthen the supervision of the storage period of imported seedlings, ensure that seedlings are not transferred, sold or used without authorization before obtaining qualified results, strictly prevent the introduction of harmful organisms from outside, and build a strong safety barrier for agricultural production.
