The reporter learned from Lanzhou Customs on the 23rd that since the beginning of autumn this year, the planting areas of traditional Chinese medicinal materials in Gansu Province have been filled with the fragrance of medicine. Various traditional Chinese medicine exhibitions and sales activities are in full swing, and batches of traditional Chinese medicinal materials ready for export are also "ready to go". According to statistics, from January to July this year, the export value of traditional Chinese medicinal materials in Gansu reached 31.21 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 21.8%, with exports to 11 countries and regions.

Gansu is one of the main producing areas of authentic Chinese medicinal materials in China, with unique natural endowments and resource advantages for the cultivation of traditional Chinese medicinal materials. The traditional Chinese medicinal materials industry is one of the "six major characteristic industries" in Gansu Province. With the increasing popularity of health concepts, Gansu's traditional Chinese medicinal materials with "medicinal and edible" functions have continued to gain popularity in foreign markets. In recent years, the traditional Chinese medicinal materials industry in Gansu has developed vigorously and has become one of the pillar industries driving rural revitalization.

Not long ago, a batch of traditional Chinese medicinal materials produced by Jiacheng Agricultural and Byproducts Co., Ltd. in Wenxian County, Longnan City, Gansu, was inspected and released by Tianshui Customs under Lanzhou Customs, and smoothly sent to the Southeast Asian market.

"With the support of convenient customs policies, our export orders for traditional Chinese medicinal materials continue to increase, and the surrounding farmers have also benefited from planting traditional Chinese medicinal materials," said Jiang Qiaoe, the person in charge of the company. "Next, we will continue to increase the depth of processing of traditional Chinese medicinal materials, target high-end markets overseas, and continuously enhance market competitiveness."

In recent years, Lanzhou Customs has been based on the development of the traditional Chinese medicinal materials industry in Gansu, continuously collecting information on the "bottlenecks" in the export of traditional Chinese medicinal materials, establishing key enterprise accounts, studying export policies for traditional Chinese medicinal materials enterprises, accurately providing "one-on-one" policy guidance, and helping enterprises transform their "problem list" into a "satisfaction list". Timely provide enterprises with the latest trends and technical requirements for the import of traditional Chinese medicinal materials, help enterprises cope with foreign technical trade measures, assist enterprises in expanding markets, and stabilize orders.

In addition, Lanzhou Customs has opened a "green channel" to actively connect with enterprise export arrangements, provide appointment services, implement priority testing, issue certificates in a timely manner, and facilitate speedy clearance, effectively shortening the customs clearance time.
