BEIJING, February 5 (Xinhua) — With the Spring Festival (Chinese New Year) approaching, China is experiencing a consumption boom. On February 2, the first batch of imported live king crabs in 2026, weighing a total of 4.5 tons, arrived at the Suifenhe port in northeast China's Heilongjiang Province, officially opening the annual peak seafood import season, according to a statement posted on the Suifenhe city government's website.
To ensure the rapid and safe entry of this high-value fresh seafood consignment into China, all units at Suifenhe Port have strengthened cooperation, launching a rapid inspection mechanism for fresh products and streamlining supervision and inspection procedures. A "screening and release in a designated area, pre-arrival preparation" work model was implemented, significantly reducing the customs clearance time for this consignment of seafood.
As a key hub for seafood imports from Russia, the Suifenhe checkpoint enjoys unique geographic advantages due to its proximity to high-quality seafood production areas in the Russian Far East. Transportation distances are short, and logistics costs remain low.
A special customs clearance mechanism, jointly implemented by various departments of the aforementioned checkpoint, allows for the completion of customs inspection of fresh products on the same day of delivery. The combination of a cold chain supply chain and rapid customs clearance maximally guarantees the freshness of seafood. At the same time, the Suifenhe checkpoint has already established a mature model for organizing regular and large-scale seafood imports, which can consistently and reliably meet Chinese consumers' demand for high-quality seafood.
