In the early morning, the production workshop of Guangdong Wen's Jiarun Food Co., Ltd. was bustling with activity, as workers meticulously transported the quarantine-approved live chickens onto the processing line. After undergoing steps such as stunning, slaughter, cleaning, cooling, and packaging, a batch of over 5 tons of chilled chicken was transported to the Macau market under the supervision of customs officers from Luoding Customs, which belongs to Guangzhou Customs. In order to provide the people of Macau with fresh and safe chilled poultry meat, Luoding Customs has made precise efforts and strengthened the source supervision and control of farms registered to supply to Hong Kong and Macau. From the production end, they have guarded the food safety defense line. On the one hand, they have guided enterprises in the jurisdiction to optimize their quality management systems and establish a complete product quality traceability mechanism for the entire process. They have also implemented regular export animal-derived food safety supervision sampling and risk monitoring plans, and comprehensively screened for food safety risks and hidden dangers. On the other hand, given the time-sensitive nature of chilled poultry meat products, they have assigned dedicated personnel to handle poultry meat export matters and provided convenient measures such as "centralized declaration, priority inspection, and priority clearance" to ensure that chilled poultry meat clears customs at "Bay Area speed." From January to November this year, Luoding Customs has inspected and supervised chilled poultry meat supplied to Macau with a total value exceeding 27 million yuan. In addition to chilled poultry meat, delicious pastries are also popular among Macau residents. On December 16, under the supervision of customs officers from Nansha Customs, which belongs to Guangzhou Customs, a batch of pastries including Portuguese egg tarts and doughnuts worth 141,000 yuan from Guangzhou AoKun Food Co., Ltd. was transported by a dedicated vehicle to the Macau market for sale. "Since this year, we have been focusing on expanding the Macau market, and local consumers have increasingly recognized and accepted our pastries, with steadily increasing order quantities," said Wen Zihao, manager of Guangzhou AoKun Food Co., Ltd. He added that the "one-to-one" precise support from customs has made their exports smoother and less worrisome. In response to the food supervision policies and regulations and consumer demands in the Macau region, Nansha Customs has sorted out relevant standard requirements, focusing on the pain points and difficulties in the declaration process for food processing enterprises in the customs area. They have established a regular communication mechanism between customs and enterprises. Combining the requirements of international common quality management systems such as Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), they have closely monitored key links such as raw material procurement, production and processing, additive use, finished product inspection, and storage and transportation. They have urged enterprises to fulfill their primary responsibilities and improve their self-inspection and self-control systems. "We rely on the 'remote on-site inspection' platform to carry out inspection work through video verification and online guidance, reducing the number of times enterprises need to run errands and compressing inspection time. At the same time, we make full use of the 'green channel' for agricultural food products supplied to Macau, optimizing the clearance process and simplifying the handling of formalities, achieving 'immediate inspection upon declaration' for pastries supplied to Macau, and ensuring 'zero delay' in the clearance of agricultural food products supplied to Macau," said Liu Tao, deputy section chief of the Inspection Section of Nansha Customs. According to statistics, from January to November this year, Guangzhou Customs has inspected and supervised 18,000 batches of agricultural food products supplied to Macau, an increase of 12.1% year-on-year, with a total value of 330 million yuan, an increase of 15.8% year-on-year.
