On Sept. 22, the General Administration of Customs Standards and Technical Regulations Center, in collaboration with Chengdu Customs and Chongqing Customs, held a lecture tour in Chengdu under the theme "Technical Trade Safeguards to Help Enterprises Go Global". Reporters learned that in the first eight months of this year, Sichuan's agricultural exports reached 5.86 billion yuan, up 7% year-on-year, achieving steady growth in both export volume and product variety.

During the event, experts and customs authorities in Chengdu, Chongqing, Taiyuan, and Qingdao delivered lectures on topics including responses to technical trade measures, overseas market regulatory requirements, compliance for fruit export access, and export procedures for agricultural and food products. The offline session brought together more than 200 representatives from 167 agricultural export enterprises across the Chengdu-Chongqing region, while the online livestream attracted nearly 14,000 views.

A representative from the Animal, Plant and Food Inspection Department of Chengdu Customs stated that the event is a specific initiative under the "Chengdu-Chongqing Customs Support Action for Expanding Agricultural and Food Product Exports". Since the beginning of this year, Chengdu Customs has made targeted efforts to build government-enterprise service platforms, cultivate export brands for distinctive local products, and streamline export channels for agricultural goods, helping more of Sichuan's specialty agricultural products reach domestic and international markets.

In building government-enterprise service platforms, Chengdu Customs, together with the Sichuan Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, issued 17 measures to support the expansion of Sichuan's agricultural and food product exports and jointly organized special policy briefings that attracted participation from over 200 enterprises across various cities and prefectures. Meanwhile, a provincial-level digital comprehensive service platform for agricultural trade was established, linking major exporters and production bases throughout the province to provide end-to-end services covering production sources, trade channels, warehousing and logistics, and customs declaration.

In cultivating export brands for distinctive local products, Chengdu Customs took the lead in establishing a regionalized supervision model, increasing the registered area of export-oriented agricultural planting bases to 323,000 mu and adding 231 newly recommended and registered enterprises for overseas markets. Through a "one product, one policy" approach to precisely address export challenges, more than 20 types of agricultural and food products—including Chengdu fish mint, Liangshan blueberries, and Aba Tibetan pigs—achieved their first-ever exports, while lemon and fish oil exports continued to rank first nationwide by value.

In streamlining export channels for agricultural products, Chengdu Customs strengthened cooperation with Kunming Customs and Chongqing Customs to jointly address foreign technical trade measures and provide standards-related services. It also explored a "place of origin plus port of entry/exit" joint supervision model for fresh fruits to boost exports of fresh fruit and wild mushrooms. To meet the time-sensitive demands of inland fresh produce, Chengdu Customs deepened reforms in "batch inspection and quarantine", enabling centralized inspection and batch release for products such as grapes and lemons, thereby continuously improving customs clearance efficiency.
