4 1 Brief Introduction of AQSIQ and Tianjin CIQ

5 General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China (AQSIQ) is a ministerial administrative organ directly under the State Council of the People's Republic of China in charge of national quality, metrology, entry-exit commodity inspection, entryexit health quarantine, entry-exit animal and plant quarantine, import-export food safety, certification and accreditation, standardization, as well as administrative law-enforcement.

6 Tianjin Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau (Tianjin CIQ) is established by and under the direct leadership of AQSIQ, as the competent authority in Tianjin area to perform import and export commodity inspection, entry and exit animal and plant quarantine, hygienic quarantine for entry and exit travelers, etc. Tianjin CIQ shoulders the quarantine, risk analysis and risk warning work of the imported animal, plant and the relative products.

7 2 CIQ s promoting measure for facilitating perishable goods

8 Background information: With the significant promotion of global trade liberalization, and the increasingly urgent demand of further reducing and eliminating barriers to hinder cross-border flow of goods and elements, simplifying trade procedures, reducing trade cost and improving trade efficiency, to establish an efficient trade facilitation system has become the important factors in current trade institutional reform and international trade growth, then, to strengthen and deepen the trade facilitation research becomes more important. Especially for perishable goods, as its rigorous preservation condition and short period, has strong demand for the customs clearance facilitation. AQSIQ has always been committing to promote trade facilitation, launching a series of reform measures to simplify and coordinate customs clearance formalities and actively providing convenient customs clearance.

9 The speed of customs clearance is the lifeline of perishable goods (including fruits, vegetables, aquatic products, seedlings, flowering plant and live poultry, etc.). The Chinese inspection and quarantine organizations currently take the measures of appointment before arrival, preference on quarantine and detection and fast clearance to ensure quarantine on arrival and the convenience of customs clearance.

10 (1) Setting up green channel For perishable goods, CIQ is currently implementing 7*24 hour inspection appointment system, priority to receive and permit release.

11 (2) Inspection and quarantine on arrival to facilitate the customs clearance The inspection and quarantine institutions have established perishable goods declaration service window, designated a special person responsible for it, and realized inspection and quarantine on arrival to facilitate the customs clearance.

12 John Regis Tianjin international agricultural logistics center is the major construction projects in Tianjin city, is also one of projects of the China-French government cooperation years. With a total investment of about 15,000,000,000, it covers an area of 6000 acres.

13 (3) Conducting centralized inspection The implementation of centralized inspection is an important means of inspection and quarantine law enforcement, and an important support to establish a complete law enforcement supervision system of inspection and quarantine.

14 Tianjin Port has been one of the most important meat products imported ports. In 2013, the weight of meat and frozen products imported through Tianjin Port reached tons. Tianjin Port began to implement centralized inspection and quarantine mode on imported meats since last year. The average containers amount is more than 100 per day.

15 The inspection and quarantine institutions conduct supervision and management on centralized inspection field and warehouse. The conduct of centralized inspection mode makes the inspection and quarantine work more standardization, specialization and intensification.

16 (4) The implementation of risk classified management AQSIQ conducts a safety monitoring system on the imported perishable product, formulates the key monitoring plan based on risk analysis and the actual situation of inspection and quarantine, determines the key surveillance countries or regions and their perishable product categories and inspection items.

17 (5) The establishment of credit file In order to improve the enterprise law-abiding consciousness, the inspection and quarantine institutions have established the credit record system on production enterprises, the consignee, and the consignor of the import perishable products.

18 3 Challenges

19 (1) The Lack of Speeding in Customs Clearance Infrastructure Most ports don t have the one-stop platform of customs declaration and inspection declaration, where the customs clearance procedures are multi-stop. Enterprises should respectively go to multiple departments and make multiple inputs, which waste long time and have low efficiency. In addition, the port customs clearance infrastructure is lack of reasonable planning, so could not meet the needs of power guarantee for refrigerating containers.

20 (2) Difficulty to Realize Information Sharing Between Inspection Departments At present, the customs, inspection and quarantine institutions, frontier inspection, foreign exchange office, tax bureau and other departments all have their own import and export of electronic data management. But data of these departments either fail to implement the data sharing between each other, or operate too slow in electronic data contact, then enterprise could not fully realize the benefits of information technology.

21 Possible Solution

22 4 The future plans of trade facilitation

23 Next work we will carry on is still the entry-exit inspection and quarantine trade facilitation, achieving significantly improve the effectiveness of inspection and quarantine work and open the new situation of inspection and quarantine clearance facilitation.

24 The future work plans 1.Continue to promote the Chinese electronic inspection and quarantine policy 2.Improve customs clearance mode of perishable products inspection and quarantine 3.Provide convenient services for excellent import enterprises 4. improve the coordination mechanism, strengthen coordination with the relative department 5. using of information technology, realize network management of customs clearance
