Technology empowers intelligent supervision to build a solid barrier for inbound food security

Food security is the 'greatest of nations'. Faced with the regulatory challenge of over 150 million tons of imported grain every year, the General Administration of Customs is deeply promoting the construction of smart customs, guiding Nanjing and Shanghai customs to lead the creation of smart quarantine and supervision scenarios for imported grain. Through digital empowerment, the organic unity of security and efficiency improvement is achieved, and the national defense line for food security is strengthened.

Full chain intelligent supervision, weaving a dense three-dimensional prevention and control network

Recently, a bulk cargo ship loaded with 50000 tons of soybeans arrived at Dongliang Port in Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province. Imported soybeans were unloaded and sampled by automatic sampling equipment. Our equipment has passed the first batch of business evaluations by the General Administration and has been replicated and promoted to customs across the country, "said Wang Zhen, head of the Inspection Department of Lianyungang Customs. When it comes to the application of intelligent equipment in the supervision of imported grain, Yang Guang, Deputy Director of the Animal and Plant Inspection Department of Nanjing Customs, introduced: "Currently, Nanjing Customs has achieved full coverage of 10 water transport bulk grain businesses under the jurisdiction of the customs, and a single ship can save 8 hours of operation time." The quarantine of imported soybeans has been transformed from manual sampling on the upper, middle, and lower layers of the ship to surface inspection robots and automated sampling equipment for interference free inspection, realizing the "machine for human" unloading process, further improving regulatory efficiency.

The intelligent quarantine and supervision of imported grain is a systematic project, and the research and application of intelligent equipment is only a part of the construction content, which also includes various aspects such as knowledge parameters, system upgrades, interconnection, and big data applications. Under the careful guidance of the Animal and Plant Inspection Department, we are promoting the transformation of traditional supervision mode to intelligent mode, realizing the full chain closed-loop supervision from approval, control, inspection, transportation to processing, "said Li Hao, Director of the Animal and Plant Inspection Department of Nanjing Customs in an interview.

Accurately establish a secure bottom line and safeguard the biological safety of the country's borders

At 8:30 in the morning, in front of Lin Jingzhou's work desk at Hangzhou Customs, the "Grain Full Process Monitoring" module of the business operation monitoring platform was refreshing data. This module connects the underlying data of 10 business systems, covering the three lines of defense of customs supervision. Before entry, the number of unverified quarantine approvals and the information of ships in transit can be viewed. During entry, the progress of port storage and quarantine operations can be monitored. After entry, the flow of transportation within the country can be tracked. At the same time, the 15 monitoring indicators can automatically screen for changes such as short weight and early shipment in real time. Once an alert is issued, a work order can be generated for verification

Thousands of miles away, Bai Xinghua, a front-line customs officer at Dongjiakou Port under Qingdao Customs, relies on comprehensive trajectory monitoring to safeguard the food security defense line. Previously, the actual transportation situation could not be seen. Now, with just one click, the trajectory and route of the shipment can be queried, and I can conduct inspections on abnormal batches in a timely manner. Grain transportation trajectory monitoring has been promoted and applied in customs across the country to assist customs officers in making judgments and preventing the risk of illegal transportation.

Optimize the efficiency of customs clearance services and enhance the business environment at ports

At the supporting dock of the Huangpu COFCO Guangdong Industrial Park on the bank of the the Pearl River, a batch of cars carrying imported grain had just left, and the shipment information of the goods carried on the cars was immediately captured by the enterprise ERP system and successfully transmitted to the customs grain system through the "single window". After the system integration, not only has the data accuracy been effectively improved, but it has also saved our company 12% of labor costs, "said Liu Meng, a staff member of the enterprise. This function has broken down the data barriers between imported grain supervision customs and enterprises, promoting the traditional manual input mode to enter a new stage of digital transformation. After being first implemented in Huangpu and Jiangyin, it has also been promoted to national customs.

Previously, handling inbound grain business required logging into multiple pages, but now it can be done in one window, which is so convenient! "Exclaimed Cai Yu, a grain and oil customs clearance officer at Nantong Cargill. The "single window" one-stop navigation service for imported grain launched by the customs integrates 17 core businesses such as policy requirements, qualification inquiries, and license processing, greatly improving the efficiency of enterprise business inquiries and processing. At the same time, Ruan Qilin, a customs officer at Shanghai Pudong Customs, felt the convenience brought by the upgrading and interconnection of the customs supervision system. "The grain system continues to upgrade and is connected to multiple systems such as H2018, quarantine approval, and administrative counterparts. After interconnection, information queries are more convenient and data duplication is reduced. ”

Next, Nanjing and Shanghai Customs will continue to deepen the promotion and application of scenarios in accordance with the deployment of the General Administration of Customs Party Committee, continuously expand construction achievements, and make positive contributions to promoting the modernization of customs construction.
