Under the supervision of the on-site customs officers of the Foshan Customs Office in Gaoming, which belongs to Guangzhou Customs, the batch of 455.4 kilograms and the value of 11,600 US dollars of fresh persimmons departed from Foshan Gaoming and flew to Vancouver, Canada, officially opening this year's overseas export season.

"Orchard to port" full escort
Whether the fruit can be exported, the quality of the product is the key. Guangzhou Customs insists on grasping quality from the source, escorting the whole process from "orchard to port", driving the transformation and upgrading of fruit planting and processing industry, and injecting customs power into rural revitalization.
In order to guide enterprises and fruit farmers to form a modern agricultural management awareness and build a product quality management system, Guangzhou Customs has strengthened quality and safety training, "door-to-door" and "hand-in-hand" to export orchards and processing plants to carry out production and processing processing, management norms, pest monitoring and control and pesticide management and use training, and has carried out more than 50 times this year to send policies and knowledge to the door. For enterprises with export fruit intentions and related planting orchards, take the initiative to provide "one-on-one" counseling, and "report and review" to qualified enterprises to help enterprises obtain access qualifications in the country (region) of import.
"The black leaf lychee in Pangzhai Village has been cultivated for more than 500 years and is a protected product of China's National Geographical Indication. With the strong support and help of the Customs, we not only entered the list of registered orchards recommended by the General Administration of Customs, but also became the only enterprise in Yunfu area with the qualification of exporting lychees to Chile. Chen Ruqiang, head of the Ruqiang Lychee Professional Cooperative in Baozhu Town, Yunnan County, Yunfu City, Guangdong Province, said.
As the most distinctive Lingnan fruits, lychee and longan have always been the "protagonists" of Guangdong fruit exports. Since the beginning of this year, the export area of lychee in Guangzhou Customs District has developed at many points, from the past mainly concentrated in Foshan Gaoming to Guangzhou Conghua, Yunfu and other places, successfully entering the Philippines, Indonesia and other Southeast Asian markets; another Lingnan Jiaguo Longan is exported to the United Arab Emirates, the Netherlands and the United States.

Lingnan fruits release brand effect
In order to help Lingnan fruit open up new channels and open up new markets, Guangzhou Customs provides enterprises with the latest foreign laws and regulations information through multiple channels in view of the fact that most of the fruit production enterprises are in mountainous areas and it is difficult to obtain international product quality and safety technical regulations and standards, and guides fruit export enterprises to improve the traceability management system to ensure that the traceability from the source to the export is traceable and fully up to standard.
In view of the short shelf life and high quality requirements of exported fruits, Guangzhou Customs has improved the efficiency of supervision and implemented remote supervision of registered orchards and packaging plants. Open up a "green channel" in the export customs clearance link, provide "7×24 hours" appointment customs clearance service, and give priority to declaration, priority inspection, priority sampling, and rapid issuance of export fruits to ensure "zero waiting" for rapid customs clearance.
The reporter learned that in order to promote the transformation and upgrading of the fruit industry in Guangdong and release the brand effect of Lingnan fruit, Guangzhou Customs strengthened the contact and coordination mechanism with local government departments, jointly carried out the creation of agricultural export demonstration bases, recommended and identified 35 demonstration bases, and promoted the standardization of agricultural production and improved the overall quality and safety level of agricultural products through demonstration drive, policy guidance and financial support. Combined with the "Vegetable Basket" project in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and local governments to build the "Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Green Agricultural and Sideline Products Testing and Supervision Platform", guide the establishment of the "Vegetable Basket" standard system in the Greater Bay Area, provide more high-quality fruits for the Market of Hong Kong and Macao in China, and drive the domestic sales of products to achieve high-quality and preferential prices.
At present, 35 export-registered orchards and processing plants in the Guangzhou Customs Area have been selected as the "vegetable basket" production base in the Greater Bay Area, realizing the local "brand" sales of enterprises.
