Food Exhibition | Tropical Fruits Rapidly Clear Customs at China's Huahu Airport

2025.05.09

On the night of May 6, a cargo flight carrying fresh Thai coconuts arrived at Ezhou Huahu International Airport in China. Thanks to the efficient customs inspection process, the shipment cleared customs in just 60 minutes and was promptly dispatched to retail outlets across the country. The Food Exhibition will offer more information about import and export.

 

 

Seasonal fruits from Southeast Asia are highly sought after in the Chinese market for their unique flavors. "Fresh fruits have a short shelf life and volatile market prices, so every minute counts in transportation," said Wang Lijun, General Manager of Global Connect Import & Export (Ezhou) Co. "High temperatures can accelerate spoilage, so customs authorities have implemented a temperature-controlled inspection process, closely tracking flight schedules to ensure optimal product quality upon arrival."  

 

The Food Exhibition notes that to enhance customs clearance efficiency, Ezhou Customs has introduced several innovative measures:  

· "Pre-arrival Declaration" – Businesses can submit documents for pre-approval before goods arrive  

· Multi-department coordination to streamline inspection procedures  

· "Trust-based Clearance" for certificates of origin – companies can submit documents later  

· Dedicated temperature-controlled inspection zones with 24/7 on-duty teams  

 

Statistics show that in the first four months of this year, over 1,800 metric tons of Southeast Asian fruits worth more than 60 million yuan were imported through the airport, marking a significant year-on-year increase. With the continuous expansion of international cargo routes, Huahu Airport is emerging as a key trade hub between China and ASEAN countries.
