全国首创！长沙海关畅通非洲输华食品“绿色通道”

The Changsha Customs Authority has recently launched the country's first pre-assessment systems for African foodstuffs exported to China. The initiative has been filed with the General Administration of Customs and is being put into practice in the China (Hunan) Pilot Free Trade Zone (Hunan FTZ).

近日，由长沙海关推出的全国首创举措“非洲输华食品准入预评估制度”获海关总署备案，在湖南自贸试验区施行。

The initiative relies on such national platforms as the Pioneering Zone for In-depth China-Africa Economic and Trade Cooperation. The risk assessment will be carried out in advance for food products from African countries that enterprises in the Hunan FTZ intend to import but have not yet been granted access by China. Based on the results, proposals will be put forward to the General Administration of Customs for simplifying the access assessment procedures, so as to further open up the "green channel" for African agricultural foodstuffs exported to China.

该项举措依托中非经贸深度合作先行区等国家级平台，针对自贸试验区内企业有进口意向但未获我国准入的非洲国家食品提前进行风险评估，根据结果向海关总署提出准入评估程序简化建议，进一步畅通非洲农食产品输华“绿色通道”。

Authorities noted that the initiative will take into account the characteristics of the food safety management systems of African countries, to formulate differentiated assessment programs. Meanwhile, the initiative will synchronize the establishment of a food safety information database, a pre-assessment technology database, and a risk assessment database for African countries, providing technical support for the assessment of access of African agricultural foodstuffs exported to China.

据悉，该项举措将结合非洲国家食品安全管理体系特点，制定差异化评估方案。同时，同步建立非洲国家食品安全信息库、预评估技术库和风险评估资料库，为非洲农食产品输华准入评估提供技术支撑。

The Changsha Customs Authority stated that it will better serve the import demand of enterprises in the Hunan FTZ in the future, assisting Hunan in building an industrial chain of non-resource products such as coffee, nuts and meat imported from Africa.

长沙海关表示，未来将积极服务湖南自贸试验区企业进口需求，推动湖南打造非洲进口咖啡、坚果、肉类等非资源型产品产业链。

In recent years, African high-quality agricultural foodstuffs have accelerated their entry into Hunan. Under the guidance of the General Administration of Customs, the Changsha Customs Authority has managed to participate in 46 tasks of access assessment of African agricultural and food products. In 2024, dried sea cucumber from Kenya, mutton from Madagascar, and wild Nile perch fish maw (swim bladder) from Uganda were exported to Hunan, marking the first of its kind nationwide. Hunan also completed the first entrepot trade of African flowers in China.

近年来，非洲优质农食产品加速入湘。在海关总署指导下，长沙海关先后参与完成46项非洲农食产品准入评估工作任务。2024年，肯尼亚干海参、马达加斯加羊肉、乌干达野生鲈鱼干鱼鳔在湖南相继实现全国首次进口，湖南还完成了全国首单非洲鲜花转口贸易。
