[Netizen: Pao Pao Tang]: Hello! The Customs conducted the special action titled “green fence” last year. Referring to the newspapers, I understood that other special actions titled “green wind” and “green space” have been carried out this year, so I want to ask what are the targets of these actions by this opportunity. Do they have any impact on import and export of enterprises? 05/09/2014 11:15:54
[Liu Weiwei]: This year, GACC conducted the “green wind” action nationwide, which was mainly designed to combat illegal activity of smuggling agricultural products, maintain the agricultural ecological security, and protect the normal order of import and export of agricultural products. It not only will not have adverse impact on the law-abiding import and export enterprises, but also will be conducive to safeguarding farmers’ legitimate rights and interests, maintaining the fair import and export order, improving the customs clearance efficiency, and promoting the economic and trade development. 05/09/2014 12:01:40
