The 16th Asian Games was held in Guangzhou. For the Guangdong Inspection and Quarantine Bureau, it was not only a test but also a good opportunity: it was a test of safety supervision, convenient customs clearance and high-quality service standards, and it was used to improve the comprehensive capabilities of inspection and quarantine. Good opportunity. Since the launch of the Asian Games preparatory work, the Guangdong Inspection and Quarantine Bureau has poured the spirit of surpassing the Asian Games into the work of serving the Asian Games, and realized the “faster, higher and stronger” comprehensive capabilities of inspection and quarantine.
Port inspection and quarantine clearance is faster
During the Asian Games, a large number of Asian Games family members, spectators from various countries and Asian Games materials entered the country, especially the entry of horses from foreign countries in the Asian Games equestrian competition, which posed a severe challenge to the rapid customs clearance of inspection and quarantine. In order to achieve rapid customs clearance for Asian Games personnel and materials, the Guangdong Inspection and Quarantine Bureau has focused on improving the rapid inspection capabilities of the ports. It has purchased and equipped a batch of first-line inspection and quarantine rapid inspection equipment, facilities, and reagents at the port. More than 40 quarantine vehicles are always on standby for mobile inspections. The testing capabilities of laboratories and food laboratories have been expanded and improved; on the basis of the inspection and quarantine preferential policies and convenient measures agreed by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine for the 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou, the Guangdong Inspection and Quarantine Bureau has also successively introduced a series of service convenience measures. Including the establishment of special inspection and quarantine channels for the Asian Games at relevant entry and exit ports, implementing an all-weather, no-holiday inspection and quarantine work model, and providing special windows for entry and exit of the Asian Games and priority handling and other customs clearance courtesy and convenience.
The quarantine and supervision of entry horses is a pioneering work. In order to ensure the fast clearance of the horses participating in the Asian Games equestrian competition, and truly achieve the dual goals of “non-stop” reducing the stress response of participating horses and strict inspection and quarantine supervision, the Guangdong Inspection and Quarantine Bureau adopted a flexible and convenient customs clearance model for the inspection and quarantine of entry horses, namely: horses Before entering the country, report to the inspection and quarantine agency at the port of entry for inspection in advance; on the day of inspection, the inspection and quarantine agency will send the electronic information of the customs clearance form to Conghua Customs, where the equestrian competition is located, for agents to complete customs transfer procedures; after the horses arrive at the port of entry, they will undergo on-site inspection and quarantine. After being qualified, the inspection and quarantine agency at the port of entry will submit the paper “Customs Clearance Form for Entry Goods” to the agent for customs declaration procedures, and fax the customs clearance form to the Conghua Inspection and Quarantine Bureau for subsequent quarantine supervision.
As of the opening day of the Asian Games, all entry materials and horses for the Asian Games in all ports under the jurisdiction of the Guangdong Inspection and Quarantine Bureau have been cleared smoothly and quickly. There are 350 batches of customs clearance with a value of nearly 30 million US dollars and 49 horses entering the country. In addition, through flexible processing methods, in cooperation with the Guangzhou Asian Organizing Committee and Guangzhou Customs, customs clearance procedures for the entry and exit of the “Kuo Kuo Princess” antique wooden sailing ship were handled.
Higher level of multi-party communication and coordination for inspection and quarantine
The successful holding of an international large-scale event requires various industries, fields, and functional departments to act in isolation, and requires coordination and communication from multiple parties. The Guangdong Inspection and Quarantine Bureau has continuously strengthened its coordination with the Asian Organizing Committee, Customs, Foreign Affairs and Security Departments as well as the AQSIQ and other fraternal inspection and quarantine bureaus. While ensuring joint efforts to serve and guarantee the Asian Games, it has strengthened its own communication and coordination capabilities.
During the preparatory period for the Asian Games, the Guangdong Inspection and Quarantine Bureau successively participated in the port security, foreign affairs, and press and publicity coordination groups under the leading group of the Guangdong Province’s “three conferences” (Guangzhou Asian Games, Asian Para Games and Shenzhen Universiade) preparatory work. As well as the functional groups of port foreign affairs, urban operations, and Asian Games equestrian under the Guangzhou Asian Organizing Committee, they have created favorable conditions for the inspection and quarantine departments to perform their functions and carry out their work. Through communication and coordination with the Foreign Affairs Department of the Guangzhou Asian Games Organizing Committee, the draft “Drafts of Preferential Policies for Inspection and Quarantine of Entry-Exit People and Materials for the Asian Games”, “Instructions for the Inspection and Quarantine of Entry-Exit People and Materials for the 16th Asian Games in Guangzhou 2010”, “Guangzhou Asian Games and Asian Paralympic Games Participants Inspection and Quarantine Convenience” and other documents, and submitted to the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine for approval; through communication and coordination with the Guangzhou Asian Games Organizing Committee Logistics Center, successively clarified the “Asian Games Entry Material Certificate General document formats, such as “letter”, “certificate for use by the Asian Games delegation and participating teams”, “guarantee letter for the Asian Games delegation’s own supplies”, etc. In addition, obtain the Asian Games entry materials, arrivals and departures, and entry and participation from the logistics center as soon as possible. Information such as the arrival and departure of horses has won the first-line inspection and quarantine work.
In order to implement the rapid inspection and quarantine clearance policy for entry and exit personnel, materials, and horses participating in the Asian Games, the Guangdong Inspection and Quarantine Bureau and its sub-bureaus have continuously negotiated and communicated with the Guangdong Branch of the General Administration of Customs, Guangdong Customs and local customs, and successively discussed entry and exit personnel. A consensus was reached on the details of fast customs clearance such as travel inspection channels, material clearance, horse transit and customs clearance, customs clearance information exchange, and the issuance of paper customs clearance forms, which have been unanimously appreciated by the provincial and municipal governments, the Asian Organizing Committee and other departments. .
Stronger food and sanitation safety assurance capabilities
In order to ensure the safety of imported food for the Asian Games, the Technical Assurance Group for Imported Food for the Asian Games of the Guangdong Inspection and Quarantine Bureau has conducted research and sorting out applicable standards and regulations for nearly 100 varieties in the list of imported foods provided by Asian Games catering service providers. Technical preparations have been made for more than 110 items to be tested; the “2010 Guangzhou Asian Games Imported Food Traceability Management System” based on RFID (electronic tag) technology was officially launched at the Guangzhou port, and the entire process of Asian Games imported food was supervised seamlessly; 74 catering units and 3 airline catering companies conducted comprehensive and in-depth food safety risk investigations, and established unified port food safety detailed management standards. These are all breakthrough results of imported food safety supervision.
The Guangdong Inspection and Quarantine Bureau also organized Guangzhou, Panyu, Foshan and other Asian-related branches to carry out emergency handling drills and technical training for biological incidents at ports, food poisoning incidents at ports, major plant epidemics, and nuclear radiation incidents; The Guangzhou Asian Games’ Entry-Exit Health and Quarantine Work Responsibility Form was resolved and implemented to the branch offices of the Asian Games-related events, which further improved the port health and quarantine level.
