New Zealand live spiny rock lobster flies to Guangzhou

Recently, a batch of live New Zealand spiny rock lobsters weighing about 600 kilograms arrived at the Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport port on CZ306 flight. After unloading, they were quickly transported to the special goods centralized inspection site located in the north area of the airport for customs supervision. Customs officers at Guangzhou Baiyun Airport, under the jurisdiction of Guangzhou Customs, conducted inspections as soon as possible and quickly released the goods after completing all supervision procedures. Subsequently, the fully temperature controlled cold chain transport vehicle immediately departed to quickly transport this batch of fresh produce to the Huangsha Aquatic Products Trading Market in Liwan District, Guangzhou.

Air freight imported fresh aquatic products have a short shelf life and high requirements for customs clearance efficiency. Fresh aquatic products such as live abalone and live lobster, after being caught overseas, are stored and transported through special measures such as refrigeration and pressure prevention from the place of origin to the port. The entire process is transported directly through the air cold chain to ensure freshness. Feng Jingxian, the manager of Shenzhen Jiajingshun Trading Co., Ltd., who imported this batch of live prickly rock lobster, said, "If the delay of one hour for fresh aquatic products increases the risk of quality loss, the efficient supervision service of customs helps us reduce the risk of cargo damage and gives us more confidence to expand our import fresh business

In response to the high requirements for customs clearance time and strict transportation conditions for imported fresh goods, Guangzhou Baiyun Airport Customs has contacted import enterprises in advance to understand the import plan, guide enterprises to make good use of convenient customs clearance policies such as "advance declaration" and "two-step declaration", and opened a "green dedicated channel" to maximize the freshness of aquatic products.

According to statistics, in the first seven months of this year, Guangzhou Baiyun Airport Customs supervised a total of 1.28 billion yuan worth of imported edible aquatic animals such as lobsters, green crabs, and abalone, a year-on-year increase of 5.7%.
