The fruit was sourced from orchards in the northern provinces of Bac Giang and Hai Duong.
Lao Cai border gate customs sub-department has closely co-ordinated with the provincial border guards and plant quarantine checkpoints at Kim Thanh border gate to create the most favourable conditions for the export of fresh lychees to the Chinese market.
Accordingly, shipments of fresh lychees quickly undergo customs clearance for export and trucks loaded with fresh lychee are given priority for customs clearance in order to reduce congestion and the waiting time for the drivers and fruit owners.
Though it is not yet peak season for lychees, the total amount of lychees shipped to China through Lao Cai’s border gate so far is around 2,000 tonnes higher than the same period last year.
