In the first month of the "Smart Visa" program, over 350 electronic certificates were issued in Weihai in seconds
Recently, 30 tons of live king crabs declared for import by Shandong Runze International Supply Chain Management Co., Ltd. arrived at Weihai Port in Shandong Province. They were unloaded and transported to the designated supervision site under the supervision of Weihai Customs under Qingdao Customs. After completing the clearance and release procedures through port inspection, the customs visa operation system automatically completed the process of certificate drafting and re examination. Enterprise personnel simply clicked the mouse and obtained the "Entry Goods Inspection and Quarantine Certificate" with customs electronic signature and verification QR code online through the international trade "single window".
It's really a 'second level' issuance of certificates! This batch of emperor crabs has extremely high requirements for timeliness. Now the certificates can be downloaded immediately, and we can arrange for delivery to the market immediately, maximizing freshness and saving storage and waiting costs. "Wang Sien, the manager of the customs declaration department of the company, said that in the past, it used to take at least one working day to handle manually, and someone had to go to the customs site to collect paper certificates. Now, it has achieved full online processing and zero errands.
The "Certificate of Inspection and Quarantine of Imported Goods" is an important document that allows imported goods to enter the domestic market for sale and use after passing customs inspection and quarantine. Since the General Administration of Customs fully promoted the automation function of visa operations, the "smart visa" facilitation measures have been running smoothly in Weihai for over a month.
Over the past month, Weihai Customs has rapidly issued more than 350 electronic certificates of "Entry Goods Inspection and Quarantine Certificate" for import enterprises through the system's automatic review and signing mode.
Kang Xinjian, the head of the Inspection Department at the Weihai Customs Port Office, stated that the automation of visa operations is a key component of the construction of a smart customs. After the reform, the system replaced the traditional manual verification and re examination process, achieving a "second level" visa review process. This not only compressed the visa processing time from "days" to "seconds", greatly improving the overall clearance efficiency of the port, but also effectively reduced the error rate of manual input.
At the same time, electronic certificates have the same legal effect as paper certificates. Market supervision departments and downstream enterprises can scan the certificate QR code for real-time verification of authenticity and access to details through channels such as the General Administration of Customs' government service platform, thus creating a safer and more transparent market circulation environment.
Next, Weihai Customs will continue to deepen the construction of smart customs and the application of the achievements of the "Smart Customs Strong Country" action, focus on enterprise needs, further optimize and improve facilitation measures such as "intelligent audit" and "self-service printing", continue to optimize the port business environment, and help foreign trade enterprises reduce costs and increase efficiency.
