Taking advantage of its geographical location, Fujian Province's frozen fish imports have opened up a "characteristic channel"

Recently, a container carrying a batch of frozen Greenland flounder arrived at Qingzhou Port in Mawei, Fuzhou, and completed customs clearance and release procedures within 2 hours through the "advance declaration and ship side direct pickup" mode. It was then transported to the warehouse of Fujian Haizhong Fresh Trading Co., Ltd.

Fujian Province is the preferred destination for many ocean going fishing boats to return to China for supply and unloading. Many frozen fish from Indonesia have short transportation distances and low costs, and can enter the domestic market faster and at lower costs through 'fast customs clearance channels' such as Fuzhou and Xiamen, "said Chen Ming, a customs clearance officer at Fujian Haizhong Fresh Trading Co., Ltd.

This' fast track 'has given Fujian Province unique competitiveness in importing frozen fish. According to statistics from Fuzhou Customs, in the first 10 months, Fujian Province imported 2.51 billion yuan of frozen fish, a year-on-year increase of 19.6%, ranking third in the country in terms of import value.

Private enterprises, foreign-invested enterprises, and state-owned enterprises have all achieved double-digit growth. In the first 10 months, private enterprises, foreign-invested enterprises, and state-owned enterprises in Fujian Province imported frozen fish worth 1.99 billion yuan, 280 million yuan, and 240 million yuan respectively, an increase of 17%, 27.1%, and 34.5%, accounting for 79.2%, 11.3%, and 9.5% of the total value of frozen fish imports in Fujian Province during the same period.

With the continuous promotion of the core area of "Maritime Silk Road" and the construction of smart ports, more and more high-quality seafood products from around the world are reaching the dining tables of Chinese people at a faster speed and with better quality through the efficient "characteristic channel" of Fujian Province.
