In recent years, the imports and exports keep being promoted. In 2003, the throughput of cargos and containers reached 1600 million tons and 3 millions standard containers respectively. With further enlarging its import and export scale and optimizing its export structure, Tianjin has enhanced its radiating function as a central port. There is a special team in their uniforms with the national emblem on the hat and the balance marks on the shoulders. You may find them working beside piles of containers in the busy Tianjin airport and the seaport or conducting inspection in the foreign-oriented enterprises scattered in the fields of Tianjin. They are the staff members of Tianjin Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau (hereinafter regarded as CIQ Tianjin), who are safeguarding the security of China’s economy. They are soldiers who are guarding the security of the economy and the health of the people. They are sentinels who are protecting the operations of the import and export trade in the Bohai Bay. Now matter how the time flies, no matter how the tide waves, the staff of CIQ Tianjin are standing still under the national flag and keeping the promise to take the duty for the homeland and to serve the enterprises to their satisfactory. This day was the day of the foundation of CIQ Tianjin. This day was the day that will be ever remembered in the history of CIQ Tianjin. This day began a new page for the over one-hundred-year history of inspection and quarantine. She is a seed growing out of the soil and yearning for harvest. She is an infant longing for a bright new future. Since founding, CIQ Tianjin has developed rapidly and now has about 1200 staff members with 80% technical specialists, among whom there are doctors, masters, and technicians with senior technical degrees and even some experts who enjoy special national subsidy.
Once a person said that the world we live on is but a small village. His words vividly pictured how increasing and how close the international intercourses and exchanges become. The economy globalization and world integration not only bring frequent come-and-go communication and trade, but also introduce epidemic diseases, therefore the problems of health, environmental protection, safety and anti-fraud come one after another. A poet ever wrote such a sentence in his poem, why are my eyes always brimming with tears? Because I love my motherland so deeply. The public have become so familiar with terms such as SARS, BSE, poultry flu and so on in late years and turned pale at the mention of foreign rubbishes and radioactive pollutions and other poisonous and harmful materials invaded into China through different ways. The Pajero event and the excessive sulfur dioxide in the imported potato chips, etc. rings alarm bells for the safety of the imported commodities. All the above set a higher request for the CIQ Tianjin staff how to safeguard the public and the national economy effectively and efficiently. The united team of CIQ Tianjin from the director generals to the common members does the utmost to guard the solemn gate of China’s foreign economy guided by the scientific decision-making and proper leading, with their faithfulness to their country and devotion to their people, their perfect technique skills and steadfast working spirits. They can never forget the sincere words and earnest wishes- loyalty to duty, courage to responsibility, strictness to guard, protection to the people and the country- given by former Prime Minister Zhu Rongji. They shoulder an incumbent duty assigned by the people. Under current conditions of complex international epidemic situation and increasing trade disputes and non-traditional terrorism, CIQ Tianjin has strengthened quarantine on animals and plants, and risk analysis and fore-warning on foods and cosmetics and established emergency response system on frontier health by united command and disposition and action. As the key point shifted to sensitive commodities concerned with safety, sanitation, health, environmental protection and anti-fraud, CIQ Tianjin also intensify supervision and control on likely poisonous and harmful imported materials or those imported commodities which may cause damages to domestic industry and put an end to those inferior or high-polluted goods or foreign rubbishes entering China through Tianjin. There were cases on file that CIQ Tianjin intercepted and captured propagation epidemic diseases. There are many other cases which record how many times they inspected disqualified goods and examined infectious diseases from the travelers. Many of these cases were first performed by the CIQ Tianjin all over the country. They first found the imported fruits from Chile unconformity with the bilateral agreement.
The data and so many first are simple but they indicate that the management of CIQ Tianjin is firm and strong, and agglomerate the wisdom, sweats, pains and efforts of the whole 1200 employees. To let the motherland rest assured is a promise and the promise that has been honored by them as well. To serve the people to their satisfactory is an answer and the answer that has been qualified by them as well. With the access to WTO, China’s foreign trade and economy face both unprecedented chances and challenges. In the recent two years, as the trade attritions sharpening and technical bars increasing, the situation of foreign trade becomes more and more serious and domestic enterprises find more and more difficult to export their products. As one of the important economic chains, entry –and- exit inspection and quarantine affects the foreign trade development, as well as the economic increase on the light of service, quality, and efficiency. Conclusively, CIQ Tianjin is searching for a new way to serve the foreign trade, and expand the business. In early 2002, the leading team of CIQ Tianjin made the decision to move the bureau headquarter to Tianjin Economic and Technological Development Area (TEDA), which was based on the port, on the frontier of import and export trade, and on the high risk area of epidemic situation, as well as the keystone to the regional economic development. A series of measures were published later in order to serve the local development. The management setup the coordination meeting system with the relevant foreign trade management departments of the districts, counties, or bureaus. Periodical they pay a visit to the enterprises collecting feedback, and solving the difficulties of the importers or exporters. The inspection and quarantine passes were moved forward to the breeding or planting fields. The hazards were analyzed for feedstuff prescription, drug safety, and residue testing, so as to set up the critical control points. Conclusively the export of live crucians increased steadily in Tianjin port, which became the biggest live crucians export base in China. The international market recognized again the traditional local agricultural products, e.g. Tianjin cabbage, Tianjin chestnut, and Tianying pepper. The inspection and quarantine passes were also moved forward to the workshops of the enterprises for cooperative tackling key problems with the technicians. The draggled processes were improved, and product or sale information was provided. Conclusively, the traditional export of bicycles increased steadily to be the new economic development point in Tianjin, which accounted to be 3 million in 2003 compared to only 230 thousand in 1999. The Easy Customs Clearance strategy was taken to promote the Triple-e Project (electronic declaration, electronic issuing certificates and electronic customs clearance), which starts with the Direct Declaration for Inspection and Quarantine. At present, the electronic declaration for inspection and quarantine covers 100%. The electronic certificate issuance covers 95%. The applicants were able to declare for inspection and quarantine, or apply for certificate issuance without leaving their offices, so as to decrease the visits to CIQ on site. The enterprise applicants said that the click of the mouse made the declaration so easily now. The Easy Customs Clearance strategy was taken to set up the Department of Customs Clearance. The Green Passages were linked with Beijing, Shanxi, Hebei, and Inner Mongolia. 145 exporters accelerate the speed of customs clearance until now. More than 10 thousand lots of export cargoes were rapidly released annually through the Green Passages. The Easy Customs Clearance strategy was taken to improve the existing supervision mode and to expand the scope of classified management. Gradually it covers light industrial products, electrical and machinery products, bamboo and wooden or grass products. Not only the reputation of the enterprises was improved, but also the speed of inspection and release of the imports or exports was accelerated. Furthermore, the Fast Inspection and Release Center was initiated to decrease the sampling rate, and accelerate the inspection and release. The procedure that cost four days in the past only takes four hours now, or even several minutes. The information and technology advantage was taken to help different kinds of enterprises to increase export and competition capability . Until the end of 2003, over two thousand local enterprises benefit from the GSP. In 2003, the direct duty decrease was 100 million US dollars. With the help of CIQ Tianjin, the marks of origin were certified to the famous Jingu brand Xiaozhan paddy, Jin liquor, and the Dynasty wine. 58 health registered enterprises were recommended to the foreign party for export licenses. Over 320 enterprises improved the management level thanks to the quality management system accreditation. The systems of “the first asked to take the responsibility”, “service promises”, and “responsibility running” were set up. The correspond treatments for the urgent application, special application, and difficult application, as well as the promises and supervision measures were to build the good environment for the foreign trade of Tianjin. With the increase of foreign trade, technology took a more and more important role in updating the export products and diagnosing the epidemic diseases. The international trade was directed affected by technological level. CIQ Tianjin took the responsibility to apply the advantage of technology to refuse the foreign disease and unqualified products, and to promote technical contents of products and to help the foreign traders to enlarge exports. CIQ Tianjin was composed of the qualified and competent technicians. They took the study of the Tenth Five-Year Plan National Projects. They took the study of the AQSIQ research projects. They took the study of the municipal emphasis projects. National patents were given to their inventions. They finished the drafting or modification of many national standards. The honors of the technicians covered the Eureka International Invention Golden Awards, the National Patent Certifications, the Excellence Award of Chinese Patents, the Technical Promotion Award of AQSIQ, and the municipal Technical Progress Awards. Either the development of technology or the progress of technicians can not leave the construction of the laboratories. CIQ Tianjin was emphasized on the study of improvement testing level and fast testing methods in these years. The Hazardous Product Central Laboratory (HPCL) of CIQ Tianjin was the only national hazard products laboratory to test import and export dangerous cargoes and packages. Since the foundation in 1998, it set up long term cooperation with many countries or international organizations as ISO or IMO. It was recognized by the Canadian government for hazardous product testing, which is the first certification awarded out of America. It imposes import roles for international competition of the hazardous products laboratories. The testing report of cigarette lighters or multi-function lighters issued by HPCL was to pass the customs of the United States and Canada without extra inspection. The Molecular Biology Laboratory made progress since the foundation in the study of GMO ingredients, in the technical measures improvement of monitoring harmful foreign creatures, animal diseases, or entry-exit contagions. The qualitative or quantitative testing of GMO was advanced in China, which filled the emptiness in the field of the study in the testing and standardization of GMO anti-worms cottons worldwide. It became the introductive research center of Tianjin for molecular biological study. Their efforts made the HPCL and bicycle laboratory of CIQ Tianjin to be the testing centers of AQSIQ. Seven National Emphasized Laboratories were posed to the hazardous product testing, bicycle testing, ruminant disease testing, metal and metal material testing, paper and pulp testing, animal drugs residue and food additives testing, tobacco leaf and grass seed quarantine. The other Six Regional Emphasized Laboratories were posed to the lighter industry and textile testing center, chemical and mineral products testing center, tuberculosis testing center, medical media creatures monitoring center, plant quarantine, and animal quarantine.
