In recent days, lettuce, kidney beans, tomatoes and green pepper seeds produced in the Hexi Corridor of Gansu Province have been inspected by Jiuquan Customs under Lanzhou Customs and successfully exported to Italy. In Tianshui, located in the southeast of the province, a batch of integrated circuits from France arrived successfully. This is the epitome of the smooth trade between Gansu and the EU this year.

According to customs data, in the first 10 months of this year, Gansu's import and export value to EU countries was 3.53 billion yuan (RMB, the same below), up 40.2% year on year.

"In recent years, Gansu's import and export trade with the European Union has increased year by year. Copper concentrates, integrated circuits, casein, cosmetics and other products from the European Union have been continuously transported to Gansu. At the same time, Gansu's vegetable and flower seeds, non alloy nickel powder, sheep casings and other characteristic products have been exported to the European Union in large quantities. The economic and trade cooperation between the two sides is stable and smooth." Huang Zhiheng, deputy director of the Second Comprehensive Business Division of Lanzhou Customs, said.

Based on the advantages of long and narrow area, sufficient sunlight, large temperature difference between day and night, and few pests and diseases, Gansu has more than 100 characteristic agricultural products sold to overseas markets. Hexi Corridor is the largest seed production base of vegetables and flowers in China.

According to customs data, a few days ago, Gansu launched the first railway sea intermodal seed train "Jiuquan Qinzhou Port Rotterdam", a new land sea channel in the west, and 380 tons of vegetable and flower seeds went to sea with full load.

While carefully cultivating agricultural "chip" seeds, Gansu, which has taken the lead in nuclear applications, new energy, new materials, petrochemical equipment and other fields in China in recent years, has also made efforts to ensure the stability of the supply chain of high-tech enterprises.

Since this year, in order to ensure the stability of the supply chain of the integrated circuit industry, Tianshui Customs under Lanzhou Customs has established a linkage working group for customs clearance, trade processing and inspection, actively providing enterprises with customs policy consulting services, and helping enterprises solve the pain points and difficulties encountered in customs clearance, local inspection and other work. According to customs data, since this year, the import and export value of integrated circuits supported by the customs has reached 2.24 billion yuan.

"It only took half an hour from the warehousing of raw materials to the production, and the chain was accelerated." Wang Xiaowei, head of import and export business of Tianshui Huatian Technology Co., Ltd., said that thanks to a series of facilitation measures such as the new mode of control, inspection and inspection of high-tech goods such as vacuum packaging by the customs, the company's much-needed imported materials and equipment were put into operation quickly, realizing a continuous supply chain and production archives.

According to the customs data, the EU is one of the important trade partners of Gansu Province. The customs strengthened the analysis of the import and export situation of Gansu Province to the EU, guided the import and export enterprises in the province to strengthen the complementary advantages of market, capital and technology, expanded import and export in the digital economy, green environmental protection, new energy, artificial intelligence and other fields, and ensured the safety, stability and reliability of the industrial chain supply chain.
