Changchun, December 18 (Xinhua) — In just nine hours, including customs clearance, 650 kilograms of live king crabs from Russia were airlifted from Changchun Longjia International Airport, capital of Northeast China's Jilin Province, to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR). This method of transportation significantly reduced the time required to deliver perishable seafood.
Tuesday's shipment marked the first time that Jilin Province has used the bonded logistics model under a comprehensive bonded zone to handle the transit trade of live king crabs.
Jilin Province's foreign trade has shown steady growth in recent years. According to data, in 2024, approximately 1.5 million king crabs worth approximately 3.31 billion yuan were imported into China through the Hunchun port, accounting for over 80 percent of the country's total seafood imports.
The city of Hunchun is located in the eastern part of Jilin Province, at the junction of the state borders of China, Russia and the DPRK.
According to Huang Jianfeng, deputy director of customs at Longjia Airport, the successful implementation of the live king crab transit trade is due to several factors, including Hunchun's geographical proximity to Russia, the flexibility of the comprehensive bonded zone policy, and the airport's efficient transportation capabilities.
“The new model not only reduces operating costs for enterprises, but also eliminates key bottlenecks in the seafood supply chain,” he said, adding that “this lays the foundation for turning Jilin into a national distribution center for imported king crabs from Russia and connecting with international markets.” -0-
