Recently, the machines in the production workshop of Yantai Meiyi Pet Products Co., Ltd. roared, and 11.5 tons of matcha-flavored plant cat litter were being rolled off the production line one after another, and they were about to be sent to foreign markets.

This is an environmentally friendly plant cat litter manufacturer. Its products are loved by many cat owners because of their rapid agglomeration, strong deodorization, easy cleaning, and flushable toilets. The products are exported to many overseas markets.

Yantai Zhaoyuan, where Yantai Meiyi Pet Products Co., Ltd. is located, is the main producer of Longkou vermicelli. The comprehensive utilization of scraps in the production process of vermicelli has always been the most concerned issue for local governments and industries.Environmentally friendly plant cat litter uses pea fiber, a byproduct of the vermicelli production process, as the main raw material, which can not only ensure the quality of edible-grade raw materials, but also ensure the stability of the supply of raw materials from local materials.

Three years ago, the use of pea fiber to make cat litter was still a brand new industry.“When I took the factory design drawings and consulted the customs about the feasibility of export, I really didn't have a bottom in my heart."Recalling the scene when the factory was being built, Sun Pingli, the general manager of the company, said that at that time, the company was at a loss about how to obtain export qualifications, how to clear customs for products, etc.

After learning of the company's willingness to export, Yantai Customs put forward rationalization suggestions for the layout of the factory area and workshop, the control of raw materials and accessories, and the monitoring of pests, and guided the company to successfully pass the export registration.At the same time, actively guide enterprises to grasp the regulatory requirements of the intended exporting country, coordinate and solve issues such as the attribution of product tax numbers and codes, and help enterprises' cat litter products successfully clear customs for export.

From the first order clearance to more than 300 batches of orders every year, the company has continued to grow and grow.“A series of guidance measures from the customs have helped us get through the days of being toddlers, and we really have a bottom in our hearts."Sun Pingli said.

In view of the difficulties in booking and unstable shipping schedules faced by the industry since the outbreak of the epidemic, Yantai Customs has taken the initiative to connect with enterprises and implement appointment inspections. After the enterprises book, the speed of customs clearance inspection and release will be accelerated to maximize the “zero delay” in customs clearance.

“Although the epidemic situation this year is complicated and sea freight is high, our order volume has not been affected. Now the order has been scheduled for two months later."Sun Pingli introduced that since this year, the company has exported a total of 7,112 tons of plant cat litter, an increase of 40.5% year-on-year.

“With the increasing global awareness of environmental protection, pet lovers at home and abroad have become more and more recognized for this environmentally friendly plant cat litter that is biodegradable and does not pollute the environment and has renewable raw materials."Liu Huiqiang, director of Yantai Customs Office in Zhaoyuan, said that in recent years, Yantai Customs has focused on key areas of export transformation and upgrading, continuously optimized the port business environment, helped emerging industries seize development opportunities, and promoted the traditional industrial chain to high-end, intelligent, and green extension.
