Southeast Asian fruit 'cross-border Spring Festival travel rush' busy

The New Year overture plays, and the flavor of the border gradually becomes stronger. In the early morning, the Tianbao Port located in Wenshan Prefecture, Yunnan Province was already a bustling scene. The entry trucks loaded with fresh durian, longan, jackfruit and other Southeast Asian characteristic fruits are passing through the "green channel" of fresh and perishable agricultural products in an orderly manner. After passing the supervision and inspection by customs officers, these "foreign New Year goods" with the fragrance of branches will quickly rush to major markets in China, enriching the Chinese New Year dining tables for domestic consumers.

Since last year, our imported fresh durians have cleared customs faster and our business has become more prosperous, "said Zhang Jiaqing, the general manager of Malipo Jiaqing Border Trade Co., Ltd., pointing to the cold chain convoy leaving the freight yard. During peak hours, the company can import up to 100 durian cold chain trucks in a single day, directly supplying markets such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Chongqing. Data shows that in January of this year, Kunming Customs' Tianbao Customs supervised the import of 9800 tons of ASEAN fruits, an increase of 214%, achieving a good start in foreign trade.

In order to ensure the launch of "sweet New Year goods" and meet the demand for holiday consumption, Tianbao Customs is deeply promoting the construction of smart customs, predicting the peak transportation of New Year goods in advance, tailoring the "fast lane for agricultural product clearance", launching measures such as "priority inspection, urgent inspection, and release upon qualification", and applying non-invasive and intelligent inspection equipment such as H986, as well as new generation logistics monitoring platforms and visual intelligent monitoring platforms, to achieve one-stop handling of vehicle entry, unloading, and inspection processes, and improve port logistics efficiency by more than 40%.

In response to the peak of annual cargo transportation, we strictly implement the requirements of inspection and quarantine supervision, adopt the integrated measures of 'qualification verification+sampling and inspection+result feedback' inspection, synchronously improve the efficiency of inspection and the detection rate of pesticide residues, heavy metal pollutants, harmful organisms, etc., ensure the quality and safety of imported fruits, and fully guarantee the safety of consumers' tongues, "said Yang Denghui, Deputy Director of the Port Supervision Department of Tianbao Customs.
