Tibetan Shannan apples arrive in Hong Kong via air-to-air transit channel

China News Service, Lhasa, November 11 (Li Lin) Recently, "Fuji Grade One" dwarf apples from Gonggar County, Shannan City, Tibet, arrived in Hong Kong via the "Lhasa-Ezhou-Hong Kong" air and air transfer channel. This is the first time that fresh agricultural products from Tibet have been directly delivered to Hong Kong through Ezhou Huahu International Airport since Pazhu red wine arrived in Hong Kong in August this year. It marks that the "Lhasa-Ezhou-Hong Kong" air-to-air transfer channel has expanded its cargo category from alcoholic beverages to fresh fruits and vegetables.

The supply of Shannan apples to Hong Kong will be implemented by Tibet Airport New Area Investment Co., Ltd. The customs declaration process implements a "territorial declaration, departure port inspection and release" mechanism. After the goods complete customs declaration at Gonggar Airport, they fly to Ezhou and are directly transferred from the airport to the international operation area through the "airside direct" mode, eliminating the need to pick up the goods, transport them in and out of the warehouse and secondary security inspections. The port detention time is greatly reduced, and the entire journey from leaving Tibet to arriving in Hong Kong takes less than 24 hours.

In the sales process, Tibet Airport New Area Investment Co., Ltd. launched a promotional channel docking around Shannan apples entering the Hong Kong market, covering three channels: chain supermarkets, boutique fruit stores and e-commerce platforms.

From Pazhu red wine to Shannan fresh apples, this supply to Hong Kong has achieved the opening of air channels and customs declaration modes and the initial opening of channel docking, providing replicable logistics and trade options for Shannan apples and even Tibetan fresh agricultural products to directly connect with the international market. In the future, relevant parties will continue to deepen collaboration with airport customs, SF Express and international channels to promote Tibetan specialty agricultural products to stably enter the international market along this path.
