Recently, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine announced the "List of Inspection and Quarantine Ports for Imported Chilled Aquatic Products". Yantai Penglai International Airport was officially approved as the designated port for entering chilled aquatic products, becoming the first port for entering chilled aquatic products in Yantai.
This morning, 612 kilograms of chilled aquatic products were delivered from South Korea to Yantai Penglai International Airport. After the cargo was unloaded, the staff of Yantai Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau immediately carried out quarantine work. This is the first imported chilled aquatic product at Yantai Penglai International Airport. It has achieved zero breakthrough in the import of chilled aquatic products from the port of our city.
Song Xuezhi, head of the Fisheries Section of Yantai Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau, said: "The majority of imported chilled aquatic products on the Yantai market are transported from Beijing and Shanghai to Yantai. Not only are the prices expensive, but the freshness is not available. It is guaranteed that the airport port will be qualified for chilled water products, and many foreign chilled aquatic products can be directly landed directly from the Yantai empty port."
It is understood that Yantai City consumes more than 80 million yuan of chilled aquatic products every year. Chilled aquatic products, especially raw foods, are very demanding in terms of production and packaging, and must be kept at a temperature of 0 to 4 ° C throughout the process. In view of the high food safety risks, the port infrastructure, inspection and quarantine capabilities are high, and the state implements a designated port system for imported chilled aquatic products. In order to improve efficiency, Yantai Inspection and Quarantine Bureau has implemented the methods of “air declaration, landing release”, “port screening, fast inspection and quick release” to improve the customs clearance speed of ports and keep the freshness of chilled products.
"In the inspection process, first of all, the foreign certificate can be transmitted to the Inspection and Quarantine Bureau by fax, e-mail or WeChat. After the audit, we can carry out the fast customs clearance within ten minutes of the landing of the aircraft. In the past, it took half a day to test the imported products. Verification can be cleared." Song Xuezhi, head of the Fisheries Department of Yantai Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau, said. According to preliminary estimates, the opening of the port can make imported chilled water products listed two to three days ahead of the shelf life, and the price is about 10% cheaper.
