AEO Certified Credit Empowers the West Coast's "Hairy Kids" with Strong Food Supply and "Sea Breeze"

As the end of the year approached, the warehouse area of Qingdao Quanlu Na Food Co., Ltd. was bustling with activity. After 406 boxes of pet snacks were released by Huangdao Customs under Qingdao Customs, they were about to be sold to the European market.

As one of the main production areas for exporting pet food domestically, the total export value of pet food in Qingdao West Coast New Area reached 1.634 billion yuan in the first 11 months of this year, accounting for 26% of the total export value of pet food in Shandong Province during the same period. These pet food production enterprises rooted in towns and villages are using AEO certification as a "credit card" to explore a new path of high-quality development in the international market, injecting strong impetus into the healthy development of the regional "agriculture, rural areas, and farmers" economy.

Becoming an AEO certified enterprise is equivalent to obtaining an additional 'credit visa' in the international market. ”Zhong Leihong, the customs officer in charge of Qingdao Quanlu Na Food Co., Ltd., introduced that since obtaining the AEO advanced certification from customs, EU customers have generally reported a decrease in the frequency of goods inspection, and their trust in us has significantly increased. We have added many new European customers, such as Laroy Group N.V. from Belgium, which has placed 5 consecutive orders this year with a contract amount of $350000. ”

AEO stands for 'Certified Operator'. As a "credibility passport" in the global trade field, it is a powerful proof of compliant operation and strong strength for enterprises. In addition to enjoying the customs clearance convenience provided by China's customs, AEO enterprises can also enjoy preferential measures for countries and regions that have achieved mutual recognition of AEO with China, significantly reducing international clearance costs and improving clearance efficiency, and seizing the opportunity in fierce international competition.

We carry out basic knowledge lectures and personalized cultivation guidance on AEO certification for key links such as import and export compliance management and trade safety for pet food enterprises. From system improvement, process optimization to record form standardization, we help enterprises sort out the direction of rectification step by step, promote the establishment of a sound AEO management system that meets international standards, and continuously improve the quality and efficiency of credit cultivation. ”Du Kai, Deputy Director of the Enterprise Management Department of Huangdao Customs, introduced that currently, there are 2 AEO certified pet food enterprises in Qingdao West Coast New Area, and another 3 pet food enterprises are planning to apply.

In addition, Qingdao Customs actively promotes smart applications such as "Sample Jietong" and "ShueTong", and provides precise coordination services and "zero problem" guarantees through the normalized management and full coverage mechanism of advanced certified enterprises. It continues to reduce the frequency of inspection and quarantine supervision, and helps enterprises expand their market with light equipment. Du Kai stated that in the next step, the customs will continue to deepen the cultivation and service of AEO certification, continuously optimize customs clearance facilitation measures, and help more pet food enterprises in Qingdao West Coast New Area win international market favor with high-quality credit, and establish brand awareness.
