Chinanews.com, Lanzhou, January 26th (Liu Xiao) The 26th is the 40th International Customs Day.

In Dunhuang Airport Customs, which has been open and closed for more than 3 years, there is a group of "post-90s" customs personnel who are determined to take root in the desert border and interpret the duties and missions of the customs with actions.

Improve the core capabilities of the port and build a solid "first line of defense" for the country

　　For Dunhuang, in order to further expand the level of opening up and develop the port channel economy, the most urgent task is to pass the acceptance of the port public health core capacity building (hereinafter referred to as "port core capacity building").

　　Zhi Tingting, born in 1991, is the head of the Travel Inspection Section of Dunhuang Airport Customs and the youngest head of the Lanzhou Customs.

For example, she said that if a passenger suffering from a quarantine infectious disease travels to China, she must not only find out the infectious disease patient in time, but also do a good job in his isolation, diagnosis, treatment, and disinfection.

　　"This is only a small part of the core capabilities of the port." Zhi Tingting said, it can be seen that it is a systematic project with a wide coverage, difficult work, and many departments.

　　Last year, Zhi Tingting took the lead in completing the pre-acceptance of the core capabilities of Dunhuang Airport Customs Port.

"Newly build a negative pressure functional area for health and quarantine, update and improve infrastructure, optimize testing capabilities, and establish a collaborative mechanism with multiple departments...Constantly improve the port's infectious disease screening and testing capabilities." She said that these tasks have been sorted out one by one, only materials There are more than 320,000 words and more than 800 pages.

　　In the end, the core capacity building of Dunhuang Air Port successfully passed the provincial pre-acceptance in Gansu.

On the day she received the news, Zhi Tingting finally got a good night's sleep.

　　Zhi Tingting said that this year she will continue to improve the core capacity building of the port and create a good port customs clearance environment for the development of international tourism in Dunhuang.

　　Tailor-made services for foreign-related exhibitions, helping to protect and promote the "Belt and Road" culture

　　In August 2022, "Brilliant Memories: From Mesopotamia to Gandhara—Ancient Oriental Civilization Metallurgy Exhibition" sponsored by the Dunhuang Research Institute and Hirayama Ikuo Silk Road Art Museum was held at Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes. Conservation Research Exhibition Center launched.

　　"Exhibited cultural relics have extremely high requirements on temperature and humidity in the process of transportation and storage, and they also have high requirements on customs clearance timeliness and service guarantee." Cao Meilin, a "post-90s" customs officer of the Comprehensive Business Department of Dunhuang Airport Customs, said that she had just received the task at the beginning. At the time, she was very anxious.

　　After understanding the overall situation of the exhibition in detail and fully grasping the supervision requirements for the temporary entry and exit of cultural relics, Cao Meilin actively contacted the port and other units.

For issues such as logistics and transportation, tax-free guarantees, regulatory inspections, etc., she drew up detailed work plans and carried out desktop deduction with her colleagues.

　　In the end, Cao Meilin's team reduced the original customs clearance supervision time of about 100 hours to about 5 hours.

With the help of customs, 221 pieces of metal cultural relics and 33 pieces of Silk Road coins from the Mediterranean coast to the countries along the Silk Road in Central Asia successfully arrived at the Dunhuang Research Institute, helping the exhibition to be held as scheduled.

　　In recent years, Dunhuang Airport Customs has continued to improve the level of supervision services, supervised a total of 5 foreign-related exhibitions of the Dunhuang Academy, and temporarily imported 748 cultural relics with a value of 642 million yuan.

　　Let the "short-legged" fruit start the "long-distance" journey

　　In addition to the thousands of years of Dunhuang culture, Dunhuang also has sweet and delicious fruits.

Chen Ying, a "post-90s" customs officer of the Customs Comprehensive Business Section of Dunhuang Airport, said with a smile that three years ago, a Hong Kong passenger who was about to leave Dunhuang filled his suitcase with Dunhuang cantaloupe, red dates and grapes. This scene reminded her of the scene. 3 years.

　　Dunhuang has unique inherent advantages in developing agriculture.

Dunhuang's climate is a warm temperate continental arid climate, with a large temperature difference between day and night, coupled with loose, ventilated and well-drained sandy soil, it has become a "paradise" for melons and fruits.

　　However, most of the thin-skinned and juicy fruits have the disadvantages of short cycle, difficult storage, and difficult transportation. In addition, Dunhuang is located in a remote location and transportation is inconvenient, which easily creates a "short leg" dilemma.

How to let Dunhuang fruit "go out" and get on the tables of international friends has become a question that Chen Ying often thinks about.

　　Chen Ying led her colleagues to go deep into the enterprise many times, carry out policy presentations, and guide the enterprise to expand the market and cultivate the brand.

　　"Thanks to the customs staff at Dunhuang Airport, the export volume of Dunhuang dried red dates has doubled last year." Hu Xu, head of Dunhuang Dunken Fruit Co., Ltd., said that this year, more Dunhuang fruits are going to go abroad.

　　So far, Dunhuang Airport Customs has assisted enterprises to export 401 batches of melons, fresh grapes, and red dates, totaling 10,953 tons, and the export "circle of friends" has expanded to 21 countries and regions.

"Farmers' wallets are bulging, and we customs officers are confident." Chen Ying said.

　　Dunhuang City is located at the westernmost end of the Hexi Corridor in Gansu Province. It is the "first throat key hub" of the Silk Road. It has played an important role as a commercial hub in China's economic and trade exchanges since ancient times.

　　Dunhuang Airport Customs stated that in the future, it will help the port to further open up, drive the diversified development of Dunhuang tourism service trade, promote the large-scale development of characteristic export products, and demonstrate the customs' actions and contribute to the high-quality development of the local open economy.
