Lanzhou Customs' comprehensive support has propelled Gansu's exports to ASEAN to a new record high. On January 20, it was learned from Lanzhou Customs that in 2025, Gansu Province's export value to ASEAN reached 3.47 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 123%. Special agricultural products such as Tianshui Huaniu apples and industrial goods like photovoltaic modules have entered the ASEAN market in bulk.
To address the characteristics of Gansu's agricultural products, such as their short shelf life and high transportation requirements, Lanzhou Customs has opened a "green channel" for the local inspection of fresh products across the province. It offers "7x24 hour" appointment-based inspection services, eliminates unnecessary customs clearance procedures, and enables products like fresh apples and highland summer vegetables to be "declared, inspected, and released" immediately. Concurrently, it has innovatively implemented "remote video inspections," applied "direct port clearance" for low-risk export goods, and reduced the overall customs clearance time by over 40%.
Beyond Tianshui apples, other specialty agricultural products like Dingxi potatoes and Zhangye vegetable seeds have also successfully entered the ASEAN market. Exports of products such as photovoltaic modules, lithium batteries, and Chinese herbal medicines have seen year-on-year growth, forming a diversified export pattern of "agricultural products + industrial goods" working together to go global. Malaysia, Singapore, and Vietnam have become Gansu's top three export markets within ASEAN, with exports to Malaysia accounting for 22.2% of the total and increasing by more than 1.9 times year-on-year.
