Delivering More Procedures on NSW Portal

10:06:52 AM | 5/14/2021

The procedure for quality control of imported aquatic feed and environmental treatment products administered by the Directorate of Fisheries under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development was recently officially connected to the National Single Window (NSW).

Previously, the Directorate of Fisheries sent a written request to the General Department of Customs to deliver the procedure for quality control of imported aquatic feed and environmental treatment products administered by the Directorate of Fisheries on the National Single Window from April 10, 2021, replacing the procedure for quality control of imported aquatic feed (including probiotics, microorganisms, minerals, chemicals, except chemicals with antiseptic effects, sterilization and disinfection) implemented since 2015.

The General Department of Customs requested local customs authorities to decentralize e-customs lookup function for quality inspection of imported aquatic feeds and aquacultural environment treatment products to customs officers.

At the same time, the General Department also required customs officers at customs agencies to access the e-customs lookup system and use settlement results on the procedure for quality control of imported aquatic feeds and aquatic environmental treatment products. Enterprises will be not required to submit paper copies for permits granted through the National Single Window when they carry out customs procedures.

Quality inspection description registration certificates granted from the procedure of quality inspection of imported aquatic feed (including probiotics, microorganisms, minerals, chemicals, except chemicals with antiseptic effects, sterilization and disinfection) implemented since 2015 are still valid and submitted to customs officers for customs clearance.

In the first quarter of 2021, authorities received and processed 125,908 records filed by 1,720 enterprises through the National Single Window.
