New season imported cherries are being launched to compete for freshness

Recently, the ET3656 flight, loaded with 41 tons of Chilean cherries, arrived at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport and was released after being supervised by customs officers at Guangzhou Baiyun Airport under Guangzhou Customs. Subsequently, the batch of cherries was sent to the Jiangnan Fruit Wholesale Market located in Baiyun District, Guangzhou for sale. This is the first imported Chilean cherries cargo charter flight at Guangzhou Port during the 2024 Southern Hemisphere cherry production season.
 

The imported cherries this time are 'Royal Dawn', 'Santina' and other early maturing varieties. Air freight imported cherries have the advantages of short transportation time and high freshness. It is expected that the peak of air freight import will begin in mid November, "said Zhang Xuyu, manager of Guangzhou Heyue Customs Declaration Service.

Cherry is a seasonal fruit with a short shelf life and high temperature and aging requirements during transportation. Customs guides enterprises to make good use of facilitation measures such as' advance declaration 'and' guarantee release '. Under normal circumstances, cherries can be cleared and listed on the same day they arrive, "said Yang Long from the Customs Audit Business Department of Guangzhou Baiyun Airport. Guangzhou Baiyun Airport Customs actively connects with port enterprises, understands import plans, provides targeted customs clearance support services, establishes a "green channel" for agricultural product imports, implements 24-hour "on-demand inspection", and ensures the "fresh" listing of imported cherries.
