China Guomen Times: The first electronic certificate for inspection and quarantine of incoming goods from Henan province has landed at Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport, achieving "instant" issuance of certificates

Recently, the first "Entry Goods Inspection and Quarantine Certificate" automatically reviewed and signed by the customs visa operation system in Henan Province has been issued by the Zhengzhou Airport Customs under the jurisdiction of Zhengzhou Customs. This marks a crucial step forward for Zhengzhou Customs in the field of "smart visa" reform, and a new level of facilitation for imported goods clearance has been achieved.

The imported goods with electronic certificates issued this time are a batch of frozen Atlantic salmon produced in Northern Europe, which has extremely high requirements for customs clearance time. After the batch of goods was cleared and released at Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport, the customs visa operation system automatically carried out drafting, re examination and other operations, and issued the "Entry Goods Inspection and Quarantine Certificate", achieving a "second level" certificate issuance. At the same time, enterprises do not need to go to the customs site to obtain paper certificates, and can download and obtain electronic certificates with electronic seals and signatures from the international trade "single window" without leaving their homes. With this certificate, the enterprise can immediately arrange for the sale of this batch of fresh Atlantic salmon in the domestic market, effectively ensuring freshness while reducing the cost of port storage and loss for the enterprise.

It is reported that before the automation of visa operations, the customs used manual document preparation, and enterprises needed to go to the site to apply for the "Entry Goods Inspection and Quarantine Certificate", which could take at least 1 to 2 working days to obtain. Now, through the system's automatic review and issuance, enterprises can obtain the "Entry Goods Inspection and Quarantine Certificate" in just a few seconds. The promotion of automated homework can not only reduce manual visa errors, but also improve the efficiency of issuing and obtaining certificates, greatly reducing the time from the arrival of imported goods at the port to entering the domestic market. Electronic certificates have the same legal effect as paper documents. Market supervision and downstream cooperative merchants can also use the customs government service APP to check the authenticity, issuing object, issuing time and other key information of certificates online, thus obtaining a more reliable verification experience.
