Recently, in the production workshop of Yantai Ruihe Food Co., Ltd., workers were busy putting sliced squid pieces into automated embossing equipment. The squid pieces were carved into uniform textures, and the cut squid flowers stretched layer by layer, arranged neatly like wheat ears. After passing the inspection by Yantai Customs under Qingdao Customs and meeting the standards of the exporting country, this batch of squid products will cross the ocean and directly reach the Russian market.

As one of the important seafood producers and suppliers in Shandong, Yantai Ruihe Food Co., Ltd. is a large-scale seafood enterprise that integrates raw material procurement, production and processing, and foreign trade. After more than 20 years of deep cultivation, the company has built a stable global supply chain.

Our company's core products are mainly squid ingredients, forming three major series of freezing, seasoning, and coating, covering 10 varieties such as squid tubes, squid flowers, squid fillets, and coated squid rings. With the convenient characteristics of opening the bag and cooking without pre-treatment, it perfectly meets the needs of local consumers in Russia for convenient, safe, and high-quality aquatic products. "Tang Xunxun, the head of the quality control department of the company, said that in recent years, the company has deeply explored the Russian and Eastern European markets, targeted research and development according to local dietary habits and safety standards, built an exclusive intelligent processing system, and achieved full process quality control from raw materials to finished products. Currently, the company has formed a multi category integrated processing mode, which can stably and massively supply high-quality aquatic products that meet international market standards. The market share and brand recognition continue to rise.

The key to preserving frozen aquatic products for export overseas lies in the entire cold chain process and efficient customs clearance. In order to assist the efficient export of characteristic aquatic products, Yantai Customs has implemented precise measures, opened a green channel for local inspection, and comprehensively promoted facilitation measures such as "early declaration" and "two-step declaration". Through measures such as appointment inspection, rapid testing, and rapid certificate issuance, the customs clearance time has been continuously reduced.

We proactively connect with enterprise export plans, provide precise business guidance, assist enterprises in improving their declaration materials, and through online appointment inspections, submit inspection and quarantine certificates online through a 'single window' and issue them in the cloud, achieving one-stop export clearance services

Chen Li, the head of the Inspection and Quarantine Department of the Yantai Customs Office in Zhifu, stated that Yantai Customs focuses on export trade demand, relies on a professional team to promote international market access regulations and related policies for aquatic products, and guides enterprises to make good use of policy dividends such as AEO and RCEP through "face-to-face" activities and on-site research visits, effectively promoting Yantai products to go abroad.
