Jumbo Crab close-up
From April 23 to 24, 256 kilograms of Chilean chilled Atlantic salmon and 947 kilograms of Canadian live treasure crabs flew across the ocean to Qingdao Airport. In this regard, Qingdao Airport, together with the airport customs and the entry-exit inspection and quarantine department, jointly opened the "fresh green channel" and quickly handled the customs clearance procedures for it. With the help of Qingdao Airport Customs and airport entry-exit inspection and quarantine bureau, Qingdao Airport formulated a guarantee plan in advance, from aircraft landing, unloading, warehousing, transfer, quarantine, customs inspection and release and other links, set up special personnel to be responsible and supervised, accelerated the efficiency of customs clearance, and delivered fresh exotic delicacies to customers in the first time.
It is worth mentioning that 45 boxes of fresh treasure crabs weighing 947 kilograms are the second batch of treasure crabs imported through Qingdao Airport this month. The scientific name of the jumbo crab is the zodiac chief crab, because of its large size, it is also known as Jumbo Crab, transliterated as jumbo crab. When fishing in British Columbia, Canada, there are strict standards that must be male and the armor be more than 165 mm wide. The "flying" Treasure Crabs that arrived in Qingdao fully met this requirement, and each weight ranged from 1 pound 2 to 2 pounds 2 two.
Customs officers are inspecting salmon
It is understood that the 2017 marine off-season fishing moratorium is approaching, and many seafood product operators see the opportunity to take advantage of the location of Qingdao Airport to import overseas fresh seafood and supplement the domestic seafood market. In order to ensure that the citizens do not lose their mouths during the fishing moratorium, Liuting Airport Customs under Qingdao Customs cooperates closely with the Inspection and Quarantine Bureau of Qingdao Airport in Shandong Province to reduce the loading and unloading of goods and short barge transportation time for seafood products in view of the fresh and perishable characteristics of seafood products, so as to achieve "immediate inspection and release", so as to win time for the quality and freshness of goods. Under the premise of carrying out risk analysis and ensuring the safety and health of imports, inspection and quarantine arranges for food professional staff to conduct on-site quarantine inspections, and implements the facilitation measures of rapid customs clearance and rapid transfer of imported fresh aquatic products after passing the inspection, which effectively shortens the customs clearance process time.
"With the efficient customs clearance guarantee, our company is confident to continue to expand the seafood import agency business, and the people will also have the blessing to taste live seafood from all over the world." Zhang Zhenlong, deputy general manager of air transport of Haicheng Bunda International Logistics Co., Ltd., said that the imported seafood business was reluctant to accept it because of the high requirements for customs clearance. Now the customs and inspection and quarantine departments have opened a "green channel" for seafood, which has greatly shortened the customs clearance time.
In order to maintain the ecological balance, this year's Fishing Moratorium in Qingdao Will Be Advanced by One Month, and in the longest fishing moratorium in history, Qingdao Airport and the Joint Inspection Unit will continue to work together to ensure the smooth transportation of fresh and perishable goods. Imported live seafood such as Chilean salmon and Canadian treasure crab is expected to greatly enrich Qingdao's seafood market and become a delicacy on the public's table.
