Xizang's Good Things Become a Fresh Business Card for Opening up
According to the statistics of the Lhasa Customs, the export of characteristic products from seven cities (cities) in Xizang has achieved full coverage. The accumulated export volume in the first three quarters of this year exceeded 30 million yuan. A batch of "Tibetan brand" characteristic products, such as cordyceps sinensis, saffron, and plateau mineral water, have gone to the international market, becoming a fresh card for Xizang's opening up.
Since this year, based on Xizang's unique resource endowments and regional advantages, Lhasa Customs has issued 12 measures to serve the high-quality development of Xizang's foreign trade, implemented the cultivation plan of "first foreign trade" for enterprises, provided full process tracking guidance from enterprise order confirmation, logistics connection to customs clearance, and successfully helped Xizang saffron realize its first export.
In terms of customs clearance facilitation reform, Lhasa Customs continues to optimize the port business environment, build a smart customs scene chain for exporting high-altitude characteristic products, deepen the application of convenient measures such as "cloud issuance" of inspection and quarantine certificates, "early machine inspection+intelligent drawing review", promote "micro innovation" projects such as "Tianlu e-Dian", innovate the "district (port) shore linkage" supervision mode, and reduce the customs clearance time for characteristic product exports by 20%..
Quality is the core confidence for "Tibetan brand" products to go global. Lhasa Customs actively cooperates with local authorities to cultivate geographical indications for characteristic products, launches the "ecological empowerment+cultural value-added" certification model, standardizes production processes and quality indicators, and promotes the upgrading of ordinary agricultural and animal husbandry products to regional characteristic business cards. For the export of characteristic products such as Cordyceps sinensis, a service model of "on-site inspection and priority circulation" will be implemented to optimize the processes of sample reception and experimental analysis in remote areas, and to build a quality "safety defense line" for "hidden brand" products.
The policy dividend continues to be released, and the confidence of enterprises in exporting has doubled. At a Nagqu Cordyceps sinensis specialty store, workers are neatly packing the rigorously screened, plump, and compact cordyceps into specialized packaging boxes. This batch of high-quality cordyceps with a value of over 800000 yuan was successfully exported under the efficient supervision of the Barkhor Customs under the Lhasa Customs. The head of Bakuo Customs, Xin Gong, introduced that the customs understood the demands of enterprises in a timely manner through mechanisms such as "the head of the customs sent the policies to the door", coordinated relevant departments to hold the "Xizang featured agricultural products" export symposium, and built a four-way three-dimensional transportation network of "highway, railway, air and mail" to open a "fast lane" for the export of cordyceps sinensis and other products.
