Pet Flavor Circle Fans Overseas

In recent years, with the rise of the global trend of "sucking cats and dogs", the "pet economy" has continued to heat up. Domestic pet food, with its excellent quality, high cost-effectiveness, and formula that meets market demand, has steadily increased its export scale.

Entering the production workshop of Qingdao Hexijia Food Co., Ltd., the fully automated production line accurately proportions chicken breast and other raw materials. After multiple processes such as mixing processing, high-temperature sterilization, and standardized packaging, they are finally turned into bags of dried chicken jerky with strict quality control. Subsequently, this batch of pet food was supervised and approved by Qingdao Dagang Customs under Qingdao Customs before being sent to European and American markets.

We select high-quality chicken breast meat as the main raw material, and lock in nutrition and taste through standardized sterilization and maturation processing technology. At the same time, we continuously increase our technological research and development efforts, striving to produce more high-quality, nutritious, and delicious pet food. "Xu Zhou, the manager of Qingdao Hexijia Food Co., Ltd., introduced that in the first eight months of this year, the company exported 1416.2 tons of pet food, a year-on-year increase of 6.4%, and exported to many countries and regions such as Europe and America.

Qingdao, as the main production and processing area for pet food raw materials such as chicken and duck meat, has a strong industrial chain foundation for the development of the pet food industry. Relevant enterprises rely on local industrial advantages to seize opportunities, take advantage of the situation, and actively explore overseas markets.

However, there are significant differences in the requirements for product raw materials, food additives, microbiological safety indicators, etc. among different countries and regions. In addition, some regions have registration requirements for pet food production enterprises such as dog food and cat food exports, and the process is relatively cumbersome, which to some extent restricts the pace of enterprises exploring overseas markets.

To help enterprises explore international markets, we have accurately connected with pet grain export related enterprises in our jurisdiction, selected business backbones to go deep into the production workshops of the enterprises, and provided targeted assistance around overseas registration requirements, national quarantine standards, export declaration standards, etc. We have provided 'hands-on' guidance in key aspects such as quality system, workshop layout, food hygiene control, and self inspection and self-control, "said Ao Shijin, head of the Inspection Department of Qingdao Dagang Customs.

At the same time, the customs actively optimizes the clearance process, comprehensively utilizing convenient measures such as advance declaration and appointment clearance, and implementing priority inspection and rapid release for pet food that meets the requirements, greatly improving the efficiency of pet food clearance.

According to statistics, in the first eight months of this year, the export value of pet food under the supervision of Qingdao Dagang Customs reached 600 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 11.4%. (Zhu Yudong/Text)
