On the morning of April 2nd, the oxygen pump made a loud sound, and baskets of sea bass and bamboo shell fish were full of vitality. Workers were sorting and loading before leaving the pond. Farmer Mr. Liang hopes that this batch of "live treasures" can be cleared quickly and delivered to the market on time.

The water temperature is 16 degrees, the dissolved oxygen is normal, and the activity is very good! "Wang Dongtao, deputy head of the inspection department of Doumen Customs, and his colleagues arrived at the inspection site early in the morning, carefully inspecting each bucket of live fish to confirm whether there were any signs of diseases such as fish body damage, skin ulceration, or fin damage. Beside the car, his colleague is quickly verifying the export declaration form.

This is a relay to ensure freshness and liveliness. Since the beginning of the Year of the Horse, there has been a strong demand for fresh aquatic products in the Hong Kong and Macau markets. Customs has optimized inspection mechanisms to ensure the efficient and smooth operation of this "fresh channel".

Quickly, Wang Dongtao and his colleagues completed the procedures for this batch of fish. A transport vehicle carrying fresh aquatic products from Doumen is heading towards Macau.

At another pond, Ms. Zhou, the person in charge of Zhuhai Xiangbai Ecological Agriculture Technology Co., Ltd., just sent away a batch of bamboo shell fish to Thailand. I have been raising fish for fifteen years. Before, I only wanted to supply to the local area and Hong Kong and Macao. I didn't expect this fish to 'swim' to farther places now, "Ms. Zhou said. In January of this year, she received her first Thai order, which required delivery to Bangkok within 30 hours. The efficient supervision and protection of customs gave her peace of mind. In the end, this batch of bamboo shell fish arrived at the port of Thailand from Doumen Tangtou in just 18 hours. So far, the company has exported 3 batches of fresh aquatic products to Southeast Asia.

With the continued release of the dividends of the RCEP policy and the deepening of the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road", Doumen Customs has guided enterprises to "walk on two legs" and actively explore new markets in ASEAN while stabilizing the traditional markets for Hong Kong and Macao. Customs officers go deep into Tangtou to provide full chain guidance from source management to customs clearance process, making Doumen live fish a popular delicacy among Chinese people in Thailand, Singapore and other places.

In the monitoring room next to the inspection site, the customs officer is using a large screen to monitor the water quality data and feeding logs of various registered farms in the jurisdiction in real time, achieving a full chain traceability and penetrating supervision from Tangtou to the port. The precise supervision mode of "enterprise classification, risk grading, and management stratification" implemented by the customs enables standardized enterprises to enjoy faster customs clearance.

According to statistics, in the first quarter of this year, Gongbei Customs supervised the supply of over 7000 tons of live fish to Hong Kong and Macao, an increase of 3.4% year-on-year; Supervise the export of over 1600 tons of live fish to Thailand, Singapore and other places.
