Airport Escort Butterfly Orchid Fragrance
Recently, after efficiently completing customs clearance procedures, a total of 15000 butterfly orchid fresh cut flowers cultivated by Linyi Heshengyuan Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd. were successfully shipped from Qingdao Jiaodong International Airport to the Korean market. The butterfly orchids exported this time are all in retail packaging with flower buds, with exquisite appearance, mainly used for floral decoration and bouquet making. It is also the first batch of fresh cut flower orders exported by the company to South Korea this year.
Shandong's unique natural environment is highly suitable for the large-scale cultivation of Phalaenopsis, producing delicate and stable flowers that are highly compatible with the consumer preferences of the Korean market. With excellent product quality and the location and logistics advantages of Qingdao Airport Port facing South Korea, Shandong Butterfly Orchid continues to sell well and has become the export business card of Qilu's characteristic agricultural products.
As a highly perishable fresh agricultural product, fresh cut flowers have a short preservation period and strict storage and transportation standards, and the speed of customs clearance directly affects the quality and market sales of flowers on the market. In response to the special demand for the export of Phalaenopsis, Qingdao Jiaodong Airport Customs focuses on the actual pain points of the industry, ensures smooth export channels, and fully guarantees the "zero delay" of fresh cut flower exports.
Qingdao Jiaodong Airport Customs will proactively coordinate with enterprises' export plans, provide policy guidance in advance, and assist enterprises in standardizing declaration and improving relevant materials; Continuously collect and organize relevant access requirements and quarantine risk points of major exporting countries, closely monitor changes in quarantine policies, and rely on WeChat groups to provide real-time answers to various problems encountered by enterprises in origin declaration, port clearance, and compliant production. At the same time, relying on the exclusive "green channel" for fresh agricultural products, the "appointment clearance, immediate review and approval, and immediate processing" mode will be implemented to compress the overall clearance time of fresh cut flowers to 2 hours.
Fresh flowers are delicate and fragile, with a very short shelf life. We are most afraid of losses caused by customs clearance delays. This time, the three batches of orders cleared smoothly and efficiently, completely solving our export concerns, "said Pan Kaiwen, manager of Linyi Heshengyuan Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd. With the efficient port services provided by the customs, the confidence of the enterprise has steadily increased. This year, we plan to export 300000 butterfly orchid cut flowers and continue to expand the overseas flower consumption market.
In the first four months of 2026, Shandong Province exported 652000 fresh cut flowers of Phalaenopsis, a year-on-year increase of 43.38%. The continuous increase in the export volume of fresh cut flowers also puts higher demands on customs clearance protection. Sun Xuelei, the head of the Customs Clearance Department at Qingdao Jiaodong Airport, stated that the customs will continuously optimize the clearance service mode for fresh agricultural products, carry out targeted assistance and policy guidance for enterprises on a regular basis, and continue to polish the business card of Shandong's characteristic agricultural products going abroad.
