Full Moon Country Celebrates Fresh from the Sea

Recently, under the supervision of Tianjin Xingang Customs, 15.66 tons of whole cooked frozen crayfish from Canada have cleared customs quickly and are about to enter the Mid Autumn Festival and National Day consumer market.

As the Double Festival approaches, the demand for high-quality seafood products in the domestic market continues to rise. Compared to air freight fresh products, sea freight frozen technology can instantly lock in the freshness of lobsters when they go out to sea, further reducing transportation costs. This "affordable and high-end" model allows consumers to taste holiday delicacies from the deep sea at a more affordable price.

To ensure the fresh, sweet and mellow quality of cooked and frozen crayfish, Tianjin Xingang Customs has planned in advance to create a "full chain" customs clearance guarantee model. Open up a "green channel" for fresh and perishable agricultural and food products, guide enterprises to query product access information, verify the registration status of overseas production enterprises, and review health certificates and other documents, and strengthen the responsibility of overseas official supervision from the source. By utilizing the "Intelligent Document Review" system, rapid comparison and risk assessment of declaration data can be conducted to ensure safety and improve efficiency. Establish a customs cold storage enterprise tripartite appointment linkage mechanism, implement convenient measures such as "advance declaration" and "appointment inspection", and achieve on-demand unloading and inspection. Use the "Intelligent Inspection Assistant" to assist in verifying document information and compress on-site inspection time.

Wang Li, General Manager of Delivery at Importer Youhe Group Co., Ltd., said, "Customs' intelligent document review and rapid inspection have significantly reduced the time for goods to be in port. This not only ensures the freshness of lobsters, but also reduces our operating costs, giving us a competitive edge in the holiday market

According to statistics, from January to August this year, Tianjin Xingang Customs supervised a total of 485000 tons of imported frozen aquatic products with a value of 14.036 billion yuan, an increase of 22.91% and 16.93% year-on-year, respectively. (Tianjin Customs/Document)
