China News Service, Ningbo, August 26th (Zhang Bin) - High quality fresh products such as Canada's lobster and salmon are continuously arriving in Ningbo, Zhejiang through air logistics channels. According to data released by Ningbo Customs on the 26th, the total value of fresh goods imported from Canada at Ningbo Airport Port increased by 5.1 times year-on-year from January to July this year.
Data shows that from January to July this year, the cumulative import value of fresh food at Ningbo Airport Port was 400 million yuan (RMB), a year-on-year increase of 6.2 times. Among them, the import value of crayfish reached 370 million yuan, firmly ranking as the core main variety. Canada is the largest source of fresh food imports for this port.
Fresh products have a short shelf life, high quality requirements, and strict requirements for customs clearance speed at ports. Ningbo Airport Customs relies on the "Blue Sky Access" service brand to assist enterprises, promotes convenient measures such as "early declaration", and strives to open up the customs clearance of fresh food imports.
For every extra minute of stay at Huoxian, there is an increased risk of quality loss. Customs clearance guarantees precious freshness time for our imported fresh produce, greatly reducing operational losses, "said Liu Sheng, the person in charge of a cold chain logistics company operating at Ningbo Airport Port.
