Since the beginning of this year, Guangzhou Customs has examined the export of 652 tons of moon cakes worth $6.21 million, a year-on-year increase of 70 percent and 60 percent respectively.

By deep integration of its inspection and clearance procedures, Guangzhou Customs further streamlined its operation procedures and unified its on-site law enforcement. The customs clearance efficiency was greatly improved, and the customs clearance time for import and export products was further reduced, which significantly benefited local enterprises.

Guangzhou Restaurant is a time-honored brand with a history of more than 80 years and enjoys a great reputation among customers from home and abroad.

A manager surnamed Wen from Guangzhou Restaurant Group Likofu Food said that as customs clearance speed accelerates, his company has reduced storage pressure; the most important thing is it can ensure fast delivery. Fast customs clearance brings in more overseas orders and builds brand competitiveness.

With the peak season for moon cake exports having arrived, exports from each moon cake production area under the jurisdiction of Guangzhou Customs has been surging. The special delicacy for Mid-Autumn Festival has been exported to 14 countries and regions such as Canada, the US, the European Union, Australia, Papua New Guinea, and Japan. The total export of moon cakes in the city of Guangzhou has increased by 81 percent compared to the same period last year.
