Nanping Special Rice noodles Are Popular in Overseas Markets
Recently, in the warehouse of Fujian Jihao Food Co., Ltd., boxes of well packaged high-quality dry Rice noodles were neatly stacked, and forklifts were shuttling back and forth to load in order. The on-site supervisors of Nanping Customs under Fuzhou Customs were conducting territorial inspection on Rice noodles exported. After completing the supervision process, the transport vehicle loaded with local flavor Rice noodles slowly drove out of the factory and will be sent to Canada after customs clearance at the port. This is the first time that Nanping Rice noodles with characteristics of Nanping was exported to Canada.
Fujian Jihao Food Co., Ltd. is a manufacturer mainly engaged in food processing. Rice noodles products have passed the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and BRC certification of global food safety standards, reaching the food safety standards of developed countries such as Europe and the United States, and are popular in overseas markets.
"Previously, we wanted to sell Rice noodles overseas, but because we didn't understand foreign food testing standards and were worried about the cumbersome customs clearance process, we didn't dare to undertake overseas orders. Later, with the help of the customs, we quickly found out the export threshold of various countries, and successfully obtained multiple export orders. The export countries expanded from the United States at the beginning to eight countries, including Singapore and the United Arab Emirates. The export products also went from a single Rice noodles to more fans, sweet potato noodles, etc. Now we have won the Canadian market, and the export road is getting smoother and smoother." Huang Hui, the head of Fujian Jihao Food Co., Ltd., said excitedly.
To facilitate the smooth export of local specialty agricultural and food products, Nanping Customs has launched multiple assistance measures based on its local supervision and service functions. Carry out "door-to-door policy delivery by customs officials", conduct in-depth visits and research on enterprises, sort out the food inspection requirements, labeling standards, and pesticide residue limit standards of major exporting countries, conduct policy lectures on-site, and solve the problem of enterprises' unfamiliarity with overseas access rules. Assist enterprises in establishing a comprehensive control mechanism for the entire process of "raw material finished product" traceability, production process hygiene control, and finished product quality self inspection and self-control, ensuring that all aspects of production, processing, storage, transportation, etc. comply with the requirements of the importing country and national standards. In addition, a green channel for exporting specialty foods has been opened, and a remote local inspection mode has been implemented to support 24/7 scheduled inspections, enabling qualified products to be inspected and released immediately. The "cloud issuance" module is used to issue corresponding inspection and quarantine certificates based on enterprise applications, helping enterprises clear customs smoothly overseas.
According to statistics, from January to May this year, Nanping Customs has supervised the export of 55 batches of Rice noodles products, with a value of 4.0684 million yuan, up 103.7% and 41.38% year on year respectively.
Next, Nanping Customs will continue to deepen the development needs of characteristic industries in its jurisdiction, refine measures to assist enterprises, continuously extend services, and make efforts from multiple dimensions such as policy guidance, customs clearance acceleration, quality assistance, and market docking. It will continue to tap into the export potential of local characteristic foods and spare no effort to protect more local high-quality products from going abroad and entering the world, "said the relevant person in charge of Nanping Customs.
