Customs personnel inspect exported pumpkin seeds at Inner Mongolia Genheng Food Co., Ltd. for territorial examination.
On October 10th, it was learned from Ulat Customs that Inner Mongolia Genheng Food Co., Ltd. has successfully obtained customs AEO advanced certification, becoming Inner Mongolia's first seed and kernel agricultural product export company to achieve this certification.
AEO, which stands for "Authorized Economic Operator," is a certification granted by customs authorities based on a company's credit status, compliance level, and trade security standards. It is regarded as an international trade "green pass." Certified companies can enjoy policy benefits such as simplified customs clearance procedures, reduced inspection rates, priority business processing, as well as customs facilitation provided by China and mutually recognized countries and regions.
Inner Mongolia Genheng Food Co., Ltd. is located in the Industrial Park of Shanba Town, Hangjin Rear Banner, Bayannur City. It is a full industrial chain enterprise that integrates contract planting, procurement, processing, warehousing, sales, and import-export business of seed and kernel agricultural products such as pumpkin seeds and watermelon seeds. As China's largest single-entity seed production and processing base, the company operates 64 automated production lines with an annual production capacity of 600,000 tons.
Company executive Liu Maoqiong stated that obtaining AEO advanced certification helps enhance the company's operational management standards, brand premium capability, and international competitiveness, further expanding overseas markets and boosting export performance.
Seed and kernel agricultural products serve as an important driving force for the export of "Inner Mongolia-branded" agricultural products, with products sold to more than 100 countries and regions worldwide. Ulat Customs Director Jin Junwen introduced that customs will prioritize providing AEO advanced certified companies with overlapping policies including territorial inspection, green channel customs clearance for export goods, and preferential treatment under rules of origin, providing precise support for companies' export earnings.
Meanwhile, customs will conduct one-on-one credit cultivation work focusing on internal control standards, financial conditions, compliance regulations, and trade security, promoting more agricultural product export companies to join the AEO advanced certification ranks and facilitating high-quality exports of "Inner Mongolia-branded" agricultural products.
