China Guomen Times: Ningbo bonsai embellishes British gardens

Recently, Ningbo Customs officers from Yongjiang Customs visited the Ruisheng Horticultural Center in Jiangbei, Ningbo to conduct on-site inspections on a batch of bonsai that are about to be exported to the UK.  
Jiangbei Ruisheng Horticultural Center is a key export enterprise of Ningbo bonsai. The seedlings cultivated by it, such as five needle pine, arhat pine, camellia, azalea, safflower stem, red maple, triangular maple, are exported to the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Britain and other countries, mainly used for courtyard landscape, indoor greening, etc., and are widely favored by European and American customers. December to March of the following year is the peak season for our bonsai exports, and plants such as red maple, rhododendron, etc. are the best viewing period of the year. Foreign customers only need to take simple care of them to put them on the shelves for sale, "said Shao Qiuliang, the person in charge of the company." This year, about 70000 red maple, triangular maple, red maple, etc. in our garden have been reserved by foreign customers and will be exported gradually
To ensure the smooth entry of bonsai into the European market, Yongjiang Customs has arranged precise communication with business backbones, timely informing enterprises of the latest technological trade measures and legal requirements of the UK and the EU, guiding enterprises to comply with production regulations in various aspects such as transplanting and potting, isolation cultivation, pest control, etc., and ensuring the quality of seedlings. At the same time, we will create a fast and efficient "one-stop" customs clearance service, open a "green channel", designate dedicated personnel to communicate with enterprises, and plan the operation process reasonably. Enterprises only need one day from goods declaration, on-site inspection to electronic ledger issuance, achieving "zero waiting" for goods export.  
Next, Yongjiang Customs will continue to implement precise measures based on the characteristics of seedling varieties, inspection and quarantine requirements of importing countries and regions, and continuously enhance the international market competitiveness of the seedling industry in Ningbo.
