I. Why is quarantine supervision of imported non-edible animal products so important?

As a seasoned professional with 20 years of experience in foreign trade, I understand that the import and export of non-edible animal products is like walking a tightrope—ensuring smooth trade while strictly preventing the spread of diseases. According to the "Law on the Entry and Exit Animal and Plant Quarantine," every step of these products, from entry to completion of processing, must undergo "continuous supervision" by customs.

Especially for Class I risk products, such as untreated animal hides and bones, which may carry pathogens of major animal diseases like foot-and-mouth disease and avian influenza. Remember in 2018 when a company was severely punished for unauthorized transfer of imported wool, creating epidemic prevention risks. Therefore,Compliant storage and processing are not only legal requirements but also reflect corporate social responsibility.

II. The "Secret Guide" to Applying for Designated Enterprise Qualifications

Want to become a customs-recognized designated enterprise? You need to pass three hurdles:

• Hardware hurdle: The selection of the factory site should resemble a "biosecurity fortress," with no livestock farms within a 1-kilometer radius. It must also be equipped with "biosecurity weapons" such as disinfection pools, changing rooms, and harmless treatment facilities.
• 1. System Requirements2. : 12 management systems must be established, ranging from epidemic prevention measures to emergency plans - none can be omitted
• 3. Documentation Requirements: Six major categories of daily records must be complete, just like a company's "epidemic prevention diary."

5. Special reminder: New enterprises are advised to begin preparations 3 months in advance. We once assisted a leather processing plant with their application - just renovating disinfection facilities took 2 months.

III. Detailed explanation of the online application process

Applying now is completely "hassle-free," but pay attention to these key milestones:

• Document preparation phase: The process flow chart should detail parameters such as temperature and pH value, just like a "product recipe."
• 8. Online application stage: Submit through the "Internet + Customs" platform. It is recommended to operate during working hours for real-time communication convenience.
• 10. On-site evaluation stage: Customs experts will come to the factory for inspection "fully armed," so it is recommended to conduct a simulation drill in advance.

12. Pro tip: When applying for modifications, use different colors to mark changed areas on renovation floor plans. One client improved approval efficiency by 30% using this method.

IV. Warning of "No-Go Zones" in Daily Management

Based on years of experience, enterprises are most likely to "step on landmines" in these areas:

• 14. Personnel management: Temporary workers are put on duty without training, just like a "loophole in epidemic prevention".
• 16. Disinfection operations: The disinfectant solution in the disinfection pool is not replaced in a timely manner, rendering it merely a "decoration."
• 18. Waste disposal19. : Missing records of by-product flows may trigger regulatory alerts

It is recommended to establish a "morning epidemic prevention meeting" system. A down processing company we serve has adhered to a daily 10-minute epidemic prevention check for five consecutive years without any violations.

V. Industry trends and response suggestions

21. With increasing biosafety requirements, customs supervision shows new characteristics:

• 22. Intelligent supervision: Some customs pilot video surveillance networking to achieve "cloud supervision".
• Credit management24. : AEO-certified enterprises can enjoy fast-track channels
• 25. Standard upgrades26. : Markets like EU impose increasingly strict requirements on animal by-product processing

Recommendations for enterprises:27. Advance planning28. Upgrade epidemic prevention facilities,29. Proactive participation30. in customs policy seminars,31. Regular conduct ofEpidemic prevention drill. Remember, compliance is not a cost, but the best "epidemic prevention insurance" for enterprises.

Final reminder: The list of designated enterprises is dynamically updated on the General Administration of Customs website. It is recommended to verify the list quarterly to avoid collaborating with expired enterprises, which may impact supply chain security. For any inquiries, feel free to call the 12360 Customs hotline at any time—this "epidemic prevention think tank" is on standby 24/7.
