In response to reports that Japanese imported food failed to clear customs at the airport for a long time, the Food Safety Center of the Food and Environmental Health Agency of the Hong Kong Food Safety Center responded in the early morning of Saturday (September 16).Testing has nothing to do.

The spokesman pointed out that related information shows that the imported goods on the day were 60%more than usual, and several of them had to supplement the relevant information because the documents were not complete, and the "cargo certificate did not match".Therefore, the importers need to provide documents clarifying, and detailed control documents and goods, resulting in long -term processing.These situations have nothing to do with radiation detection.In fact, although imported foods are more than usual, most other imported food customs clearance time is about 3.5 hours average.
The spokesman said that in order to accelerate the processing of customs clearance, the Food Safety Center has dispatched seven colleagues to support at the scene, and will continue to review, appropriately deploy and increase the needs of manpower cooperation.In addition, the Food Safety Center will continue to communicate with the industry on relevant control measures, and it is recommended that importers can use refrigerated facilities equipped with three freight stations in the airport as needed.
The spokesman said that the primary work of the Hong Kong Government is to ensure food safety, so the staff of the food security center must verify the relevant imported documents and packaging labels in accordance with the established procedures in each batch of goods.As for how long the customs clearance process of each batch of goods depends on a number of factors, including whether the relevant documents or materials are clear, the number of import batches, and whether there are multiple batches of goods at the same time and extend the waiting time.
The spokesman said that if the file is not complete, the importer needs to supplement the information, or the situation of "the cargo certificate does not match" needs to be clarified that the time required for customs clearance may be longer.In addition, if individual batches of goods are mixed with a large number of different types of foods of different types and places, they will also need to check for a long time to extend the customs clearance time. Therefore, it will be reminded that the information provided by the information provided is clear, clear and accurate, and it will help.Shorten the inspection time.
The Food Safety Center will also hold an online briefing meeting again next Wednesday (September 20) to explain in detail the matters that should be paid attention to when clearing the customs clearance, and the assistance that the central personnel can provide to strengthen communication with the industry.
