Shanxi Province's Sunflower Seed Products Achieve First Export

Recently, after passing the inspection of Changzhi Customs under Taiyuan Customs, 2.25 tons of sunflower seeds produced by Changzhi Zhongcheng Heye Food Co., Ltd. were successfully exported to Uzbekistan, marking the first export of sunflower seeds from Shanxi Province.

Changzhi Zhongcheng Heye Food Co., Ltd. is a local enterprise specializing in sunflower seed processing, and has always hoped to explore the international market. After learning about the export intention of the enterprise, Changzhi Customs quickly dispatched personnel to contact and provide precise assistance. Through policy lectures, they answered questions and clarified doubts for the enterprise, guided the enterprise to establish a sound quality and safety management system, helped the enterprise sort out the customs clearance process and declaration precautions, opened up a green channel, and achieved fast certification, allowing sunflower seeds to be shipped to overseas markets as quickly as possible.

Guo Yanli, Deputy Director of Changzhi Customs, said that the export of sunflower seeds was an important breakthrough for local agricultural products to enter the international market with the help of the "the Belt and Road" initiative. Next, Changzhi Customs will continue to focus on the needs of enterprises, deepen the "one enterprise, one policy" assistance mechanism, and make efforts in strengthening supervision, optimizing services, and cultivating entities to help more agricultural and food products go abroad.
