Golden Wing Mau Fruit Industry plans to list in Hong Kong
Recently, Legend Holdings announced that in order to continue to promote the listing of Xinrongmao Fruit Technology Group Co., Ltd. (Xinrongmao), an indirect subsidiary that holds approximately 39.46% of the shares, and to open up the capitalization path of the group’s fruit sector, Joyvio and Xinrongmao’s management team, after multiple rounds of full consultations, plan to adopt Xinrongmao.

After the repurchase is completed, the two parties will work together to promote the listing of Golden Wing Mau's Hong Kong stocks, helping the group realize the value of Golden Wing Mau. It will also help Golden Wing Mau and Xinguo Jiayuan promote the implementation of their established strategies and achieve rapid development. (Ryan Capital)
Editor's comment:
The listing of the Hong Kong stock market will open up the capitalization path of Lenovo's fruit sector, raise funds for the construction of a global procurement network and digital supply chain, and consolidate its leading position. For the industry, the birth of the first company in the fruit supply chain has raised sector valuations and forced Hongjiu Fruits, Baiguoyuan, etc. to accelerate capitalization and standardization. However, they have to face the challenges of high fresh food losses, seasonal fluctuations and e-commerce self-operated competition.

Papa John’s receives new acquisition interest
Recently, the Wall Street Journal cited "people familiar with the matter" as saying that Qatar-backed investment fund Irth Capital Management has submitted a takeover bid to privatize Papa John's International.
"Informed sources" said that Irth proposed to acquire Papa John's at a price of US$47 per share, with an overall valuation of approximately US$1.5 billion (equivalent to approximately 10.299 billion yuan), a premium of approximately 50% over the stock price before the offer was submitted. (Wall Street Journal&Snack Agent)
Editor's comment:
Irth tried to join forces with Apollo Global Management to acquire Papa John's last year, but the negotiations eventually broke down. This independent attack shows that it is optimistic about the pizza industry in the long term. After privatization, Irth can lead strategic restructuring, accelerate digitalization and internationalization, and get rid of short-term performance pressure.

Kudi Coffee suspends joint venture applications from provincial capitals and above cities
On March 12, it was reported that Kudi Coffee would no longer accept franchises or joint ventures in key cities (municipalities, provincial capitals, etc.).

This move marks Kudi's shift from rapid franchise expansion to a quality-first model. The suspension of franchises can alleviate vicious competition and optimize the single-store model; at the same time, the directly-operated model stores set standards for the sinking market, export operational experience, and support the realization of more store goals.

Harris Reed steps down as creative director of Nina Ricci
Recently, Puig’s brand Nina Ricci announced that Harris Reed will step down as the brand’s creative director. The brand's fall 2026 collection was released in Paris on March 6, his last show for the brand.
Harris Reed joined Nina Ricci in 2022, becoming the youngest creative helm in the brand's history, at the age of 26. Since graduating from Central Saint Martins in 2020, Harris Reed has collaborated with jewelery brand Missoma, wallpaper specialist Fromental and whiskey brand Royal Salute, among others. (WWD)
Editor's comment:
After Harris Reed steps down, Nina Ricci needs to find a new creative direction, or further shrink the ready-to-wear line and focus on fragrances and accessories. For the industry, the celebrity aura of young designers cannot match the business reality, and the risks of the speed-matching model between brands and creative directors are highlighted.

Qilu Evening News·Qilu One Point reporter Yin Mingliang
The college entrance examination cultural exams are over, but many candidates are still on the way to take the exams. Starting from July 17, the 2020 Shandong Province Undergraduate Comprehensive Evaluation Admissions Examination retest will begin one after another. The 10 comprehensive evaluation enrollment pilot colleges will once again welcome more than 13,000 candidates.
Most comprehensive recruitment interviews will be held on the 18th, and Zhejiang University will take the exam online
Qilu Evening News • Qilu One Point reporter noted that on the afternoon of July 17, Shandong University of Finance and Economics will take the lead in kicking off the 2020 comprehensive evaluation admissions re-examination. Starting from the afternoon of the 17th, more than 2,000 candidates who have passed the preliminary review will participate in interviews at the Yanshan Campus of Shandong University of Finance and Economics.
In addition to Shancai University, the comprehensive recruitment interviews of Shandong University, Ocean University of China, China University of Petroleum (East China), Harbin Institute of Technology (Weihai), Qingdao University of Science and Technology, and Shandong University of Science and Technology will all be held on the 18th. Different from previous years, this year’s comprehensive recruitment interview of Shandong University will not be held in the school, but will be moved to the Jinan Olympic Sports Center Gymnasium.
According to statistics from reporters from Qilu Evening News and Qilu One Point, in 2020, more than 13,000 candidates passed the comprehensive evaluation of 10 colleges and universities for admission.
However, candidates need to note that different colleges and universities have different requirements for candidates' registration time. Colleges and universities in Jinan basically require candidates to register on the same day as the exam. However, universities in Qingdao and Harbin Institute of Technology (Weihai) require candidates to register one day in advance, that is, on July 17.
The comprehensive evaluation admission interviews of Shandong University will start on the 18th. However, unlike previous years, the comprehensive admission interviews of Shandong University will not be held on campus this year. They will be held at the Jinan Olympic Sports Center Gymnasium. According to the requirements of Shandong University, candidates must wait for the exam in the waiting area within the specified registration period (half an hour before the exam). Late arrival will be considered as absence from the exam.
Among the 10 colleges and universities in Shandong that have launched comprehensive recruitment pilots, Zhejiang University has a somewhat special situation. According to the arrangements of Zhejiang University, this year's comprehensive evaluation admissions interviews in Shandong will be conducted in the form of online interviews, and will be implemented separately by admissions college group.
Most colleges and universities will not allow parents to enter the school
In the comprehensive evaluation admissions examination in previous years, the number of parents who accompanied the examination was no less than that of the college entrance examination. There were a large number of anxiously waiting parents at each school examination center. However, in the 2020 Shandong Province Comprehensive Evaluation Admissions Interview, epidemic prevention and control has also become the top priority of each school's examination arrangements, and parents will also be restricted from entering schools to accompany the examinations.
The picture shows parents accompanying the exam outside the 2019 Shandong University Comprehensive Recruitment interview room.
In the examination instructions of Ocean University of China, it is clearly stated: Due to the need for epidemic prevention and control, registration and testing are limited to the candidates themselves, and accompanying persons and vehicles are not allowed to enter the campus. In the examination instructions issued by Shandong University of Finance and Economics, it is also clearly stated that accompanying persons are not allowed to enter the school and are not allowed to stay and gather at the school gate. Several other universities, such as Qingdao University and Shandong University of Science and Technology, also require non-students and all test takers and accompanying persons and vehicles not to enter the test center.
In addition, various schools have strict epidemic prevention requirements for candidates. All colleges and universities basically require candidates to download and fill out a health commitment form before registering. According to the requirements of Ocean University of China, candidates must uniformly enter and exit through the special entrance and exit channel for admissions examinations at the south gate (Haida Road) of the Laoshan campus and undergo epidemic prevention inspections. Candidates who meet the requirements such as commitment letter, "health code" or nucleic acid test results can enter the campus only after passing the temperature measurement. The school will arrange special shuttle vehicles on the on-campus round-trip route between the south gate of Laoshan Campus and the examination (registration) point. Candidates will be transported to the examination (registration) point by the shuttle vehicle. After completing the registration or examination, the candidates will be sent by shuttle vehicle to the south gate of Laoshan Campus to leave the school.
Shandong University of Finance and Economics requires candidates to wear masks and enter through the south passage of the west gate of the school's Yanshan campus (Second Ring East Road). First, they should show their ID card, admission ticket, health green code and temperature measurement to the security teacher. Candidates with travel history from other provinces in the past 14 days must also present a negative nucleic acid test result within 7 days, otherwise they will not be allowed to enter the school.
Mobile phones are not allowed into the examination room.
In the 2020 Shandong Province comprehensive evaluation admissions re-examination, all schools will conduct interviews in the form of interviews. However, each school's requirements for discipline in the examination room are no less strict than those in the college entrance examination examination room. Among them, one point that all schools jointly emphasize is that mobile phones and other communication tools cannot be brought into the venue.
Although each school requires candidates to show their health code before entering the examination room, candidates must be careful not to bring mobile phones into the examination room. In terms of examination discipline, one thing that all schools jointly emphasize is that they cannot bring mobile phones and other communication tools into the examination room. Shandong University stipulates that after candidates display their health code before entering the venue, they are prohibited from bringing mobile phones and other communication tools into the venue. Violators will be treated as cheating.
ID card and admission ticket are two necessary documents for candidates to take the exam. However, the time for printing the admission ticket is different for each school. For example, Shandong Normal University requires candidates to log in to the comprehensive evaluation registration system from 8:00-17:00 on July 16 to print the admission ticket. Harbin Institute of Technology (Weihai) requires candidates to log in to the comprehensive evaluation admissions registration system from 14:00 on July 13 to 18:00 on July 18 to print their admission tickets. Ocean University of China requires candidates to print their admission tickets from July 15 to July 17.
For candidates who come from afar, they must also pay attention to time arrangements, because many schools require that candidates will no longer be allowed to enter 15 minutes after the exam starts.

Qilu Evening News·Qilu One Point reporter Yin Mingliang
How is smog formed? What are your views on the aging of the population? How to prepare for a competition... Among the 10 comprehensive evaluation enrollment pilot undergraduate colleges and universities, the 2020 comprehensive evaluation enrollment reexamination of 9 colleges and universities in Shandong Province, except Zhejiang University, was held on July 18. In 2020, more than 14,000 candidates passed the comprehensive evaluation enrollment preliminary review of 9 colleges and universities in the province. Reporters interviewed at multiple test centers found that this year’s interview questions at various colleges and universities were quite open-ended, and candidates took the exam very easily.
Entering the examination room to "chat", the Shandong University Comprehensive Recruitment Examination is very easy
On the morning of July 18, many parents who accompanied their children to participate in the Shandong University Comprehensive Evaluation Admissions Examination gathered at the Jinan Olympic Sports Center Gymnasium. This year, nearly 2,500 candidates have passed the preliminary review of Shandong University's Comprehensive Evaluation Admissions Examination, and their interviews will all end on this day.
Compared with the anxiety of parents, the candidates who walked out of the examination room felt a lot more relaxed. "The examination process is not complicated. I just chatted with the examiner in the examination room." A candidate from Shandong Experimental Middle School said that in the examination room, he introduced his understanding of Shandong University in English as required. Next, the examiner randomly asked, "What do you think about the administration?" "Is science or technology more important?" "What is your understanding of the purpose of Shandong University?" Facing the examiner's question, this boy from Shandong Experimental Middle School did not find it difficult. "I have read some books and expressed my understanding, and the interview is over."
"Because I am interested in calligraphy and computers, the examiner asked me to talk about the possible combination of calligraphy and computers." A candidate who chose computer major said. "I was given a piece of material about the performance of nurses during the anti-epidemic period, asked to talk about their own feelings, and asked about their understanding of the aging population." said a candidate who chose nursing.
A reporter from Qilu Evening News and Qilu One Point found that in Shandong University's comprehensive recruitment interviews, although most of them involve candidates' understanding of the major, they rarely involve overly professional content, and there are no particularly weird questions. The candidates who walked out of the examination room were also very relaxed.
"I feel that this year's Shandong University comprehensive recruitment interview questions are still very open, and there are no fixed questions. In addition to asking about the understanding of the chosen major, the examiners usually choose some points of interest to communicate with the candidates based on the candidates' introductions. More likely, they will examine everyone's overall quality." A candidate said.
Interview methods vary, but the purpose of the inspection is mostly similar.
Unlike Shandong University, which conducts interviews one by one according to the different professional groups selected by the candidates when registering, Shandong University of Finance and Economics uses a leaderless group discussion interview format that does not distinguish between professional groups. Each group of 6 people was determined by drawing lots and discussed around a given topic for about half an hour.
On the morning of the 18th, the topic of the comprehensive evaluation admissions interview at Shandong University of Finance and Economics was a discussion on the qualities required for college students to start a business. The question gives seven options, and each candidate participating in the group discussion is asked to rank them and explain the reasons. In addition, they also give two suggestions on college students' entrepreneurship. Although the topic is different from the previous day, the structure and form of the questions are similar.
"Although I know it is a group interview, I haven't done much preparation before. In the examination room, the most important thing is to be calm and express your thoughts. There is no pressure after the examination. In fact, it is quite relaxing." One candidate said.
"Each school has slightly different ways of conducting comprehensive evaluation admissions interviews based on its own requirements, but the purpose of the test is actually the same, which is to examine students' comprehensive qualities." said a college admissions director. According to the comprehensive recruitment interview requirements of Shandong University, the focus of the comprehensive recruitment interview is to examine the candidate's subject foundation, scientific spirit, innovation potential and comprehensive qualities. Although the interview methods of Shandong Normal University, Shandong University of Finance and Economics and other schools are different from Shandong University, the purpose of the inspection is also the same.
More than 14,000 people referred, and the number of applicants from many schools reached a record high
Judging from the number of candidates who passed the preliminary review, nearly 2,500 candidates passed the preliminary review of Shandong University's comprehensive evaluation this year. Universities with more than 2,000 candidates who passed the preliminary review include Shandong University of Finance and Economics, Shandong Normal University, and Shandong University of Science and Technology.
Excluding Zhejiang University, which will hold online interviews on July 23. In 2020, the number of candidates who passed the preliminary review of 9 schools in Shandong Province alone for the Comprehensive Recruitment Recruitment exceeded 14,000.
Reporters from Qilu Evening News and Qilu One Point learned that many schools have increased their plans for comprehensive evaluation enrollment in 2020, and the number of candidates applying for comprehensive evaluation enrollment has actually increased significantly. The number of students enrolled in many schools far exceeded last year.
Qingdao University has more than 1,600 candidates who passed the preliminary review this year, but the reporter learned that the number of people who applied for Qingdao University's comprehensive evaluation this year was actually more than 8,000, and the number of people who applied for Shandong Normal University also exceeded 6,000, which is more than double that of 2019.
According to the enrollment policy of each school, among the candidates who enter the re-examination, each school will determine the final list of candidates in a ratio of no more than 1:5 in the enrollment plan. However, shortlisted candidates must reach a certain score in the college entrance examination before they are eligible to apply for comprehensive evaluation admissions.
According to requirements, Shandong University, Ocean University of China, China University of Petroleum (East China), and Harbin Institute of Technology (Weihai) all require shortlisted candidates to have college entrance examination scores no lower than the Shandong Province Special Type Enrollment Control Line before they can be admitted. The requirements of Shandong Normal University and Qingdao University of Science and Technology are that the college entrance examination score is no less than 20 points below the line of Shandong Province's 2020 special enrollment control line for general colleges and universities. The requirements of Qingdao University and Shandong University of Finance and Economics are no less than 30 points below the Shandong Province special type batch admission control score. The requirements of Shandong University of Science and Technology are not lower than the first-ever general category line.

The movie "Table", produced by Shanghai Film Group and starring Wang Chuanjun and Jiang Shuying, premiered in Shanghai on March 12 and will be released nationwide on White Day on March 14. The film accurately pokes at the "hookup culture" of today's young people, focusing on the daily trivial matter of "eating", using food as a carrier to tell the story of Lu Shigu and Zhang Jiayi following their taste buds to choose what they want from meal to meal. At the premiere roadshow, director and screenwriter Wu Jing expressed special thanks to the city of Shanghai and Shanghai Film Group for their support. “Shanghai’s local cuisine and Shanghai culture are very interesting. It perfectly combines Lower Riba people and Yangchun Baixue. This is what Shanghainese are so particular about.”

As a Shanghai-themed movie that was shot and filmed in Shanghai, you can see the fireworks on the streets of Shanghai, special delicacies, and some Shanghainese dialogues that are full of life. It is expected to once again set off a craze for traveling and tasting Shanghai with movies after "Love Myth", "Good Stuff" and "Vegetable and Meat Wontons".
Focus on young people's "riding culture"
At the road show in the Thousand-person Hall of Shanghai Cinemas, Wu Jing said that during the filming, he often thought of the scene when he came to Shanghai three or four years ago to collect and create works. At that time, she lived on Taiyuan Road. She passed Laodi Noodle Restaurant every day and saw many people queuing up. "There are so many small restaurants in Shanghai. Because of the small space, young people are forced to work together. This was my original intention in writing this play. I love Shanghai's human touch and community culture, and hope to see more Many people fall in love with this city. "In her opinion, she chose food as the entry point because the word "taste" is very interesting. "Taste" is a particularly intuitive feeling. Taste can reach the soul and rise to the "tao". "
Shanghai Cinemas, photo by Lai Xinlin
Nowadays, "hookup culture" has become a popular social choice among young people. In "Share the Table", Lu Shigu, played by Wang Chuanjun, and Zhang Jiayi, played by Jiang Shuying, shared a table for dinner. Because of the restaurant owner's mistake in the checkout, they added their contact information and gradually became food partners, starting a journey of healing together from "food acquaintances" to soul confidants. The two are both actors in Shanghai, and they are also theater classmates who have known each other for 22 years. They had such a tacit understanding on the set that they felt like they were back in college acting class. On the eve of the premiere road show, they also teamed up to accept interviews with the media. They complemented each other on every question and answered each other's questions in a relaxed atmosphere.
Wang Chuanjun
Jiang Shuying remembered that when she was putting on makeup, the makeup artist talked about looking for a "travel partner" when traveling. In her opinion, young people are under great pressure in work and life nowadays, and finding a partner is a tacit relationship between supply and demand, which can avoid unnecessary troubles in life. "Taking culture not only happens in Shanghai, it is a common state among young people today. I believe it can arouse universal resonance."
Jiang Shuying, photo by Lai Xinlin
Wang Chuanjun also believes that rides are a kind of sustenance and power that can help relieve stress and lead a relaxed life. "When I was young, my neighbors were very close to each other. Now we are getting farther and farther apart physically. As time goes by, we need playmates and someone to sit next to and eat with us. Usually I will also find a partner in Werewolf."
Wang Chuanjun, photo by Lai Xinlin
Jiang Shuying
"Table" is written and directed by emerging director Wu Jing, with well-known director Zhang Lu as producer, starring Wang Chuanjun and Jiang Shuying, and starring Li Xueqin, Zheng Yunlong, Fu Seoul, and Liu Jia. The film is like a prose poem about life, with a fresh and soothing style. "I have always wanted to act in a film that slows down, and I also want to participate in local film shooting in Shanghai, so that I can go back to Shanghai to work for a while." Lu Shigu, played by Wang Chuanjun, is a programmer, which is different from the extreme characters he created in films such as "All or Nothing" and "Nanjing Photo Studio". "If you use an animal metaphor, it might be a turtle, slow and leisurely."
Zhang Jiayi, played by Jiang Shuying, is a book editor. In order to play this role well, she found a publishing house and worked from morning to night for seven days. "I sat in classes and meetings with the editor and got to know the state of the publishing house staff. At that time, there was a girl sitting next to me. Zhang Jiayi's state basically came from her state. She looks soft and frail on the outside, but she is actually a very firm and plump girl on the inside." When talking about how to interpret Zhang Jiayi, Jiang Shuying said that the core is to see the growth in this girl and see her more sublimated understanding of emotions.
Experience Shanghai in depth with the movie
One of the themes of the movie is "eating". Before the interview, Wang Chuanjun picked up a plate of snacks on the table and distributed them to the reporters one by one. In his opinion, the two protagonists in the film found comfort in each other through "eating". "Lu Shigu has his own family problems, and Zhang Jiayi has his own family problems. The two of them did not help each other accomplish anything. The knot was opened by themselves. But in the process of opening, each other accompanied each other, there was a meal partner, and the food that never changed, took you through that difficult time."
"Table Sharing" Poster
"Love it well, eat it well" is a slogan of the movie. In the movie, Lu Shigu and Zhang Jiayi both like to eat fried pork liver with soy sauce and noodles with scallion oil, and they have their own sense of ritual about food. Love of "eating" is also what attracts Wang Chuanjun to the character. "In the movie, Lu Shigu's father is gone, and in reality, my mother is gone too, and she is a chef. Lu Shigu loves to eat the meatball soup made by his father. I also like the dishes my mother cooks, and I will learn to make it myself."
Jiang Shuying was also attracted by the character's "love to eat". When filming, she couldn't help but think of her childhood memories of food. "At that time, I had a little pocket money. After school, I would buy stinky tofu and eat skewers. Every time my father saw me coming back with sauce on my mouth, he would say, you went to steal food again. "In the movie, there is a mutton noodle shop opposite the restaurant where the two are sharing a table. The mutton is dipped in sweet sauce. "When I was eating that dish, I remembered that my father often bought this for me when I was young. Food will bring back memories of a certain period in our lives, and the experience of that period of life will also come with it. "

"Braised pork, braised bamboo shoots in oil, braised luosu (eggplant)..." Upon hearing the reporter's request to introduce the specialty dishes in Shanghainese, Wang Chuanjun came up with it at his fingertips. He specially emphasized the word "luosu". Many young people no longer know such an authentic pronunciation. In the movie, most of the dialogue between Lu Shigu and Zhang Jiayi was in Shanghainese. Acting in Shanghainese, walking the familiar streets together and looking at the mottled shadows of the sycamore trees made him feel very comfortable and comfortable.
As a native of Shanghai, Wang Chuanjun feels that Shanghai is a very tolerant place. Filming this film also allowed him to see the changes in Shanghai. "There was a scene that was filmed on the rooftop. Looking at the Suzhou River at night, I felt that Shanghai has changed a lot. The surrounding green belts, fitness trails and other facilities have become very complete." He said that the Shanghai-related films produced by Shanghai Film Studio during this period are like business cards of the city, allowing more people to see, understand and experience Shanghai.

"I have never been to the front section of Suzhou River before. It is quite niche. The surrounding environment is very good. There are not many people. You can walk, run, and see the 'three-piece suit.'" When talking about the same check-in spot recommended in the movie, Jiang Shuying also recommended Suzhou River. "I hope the audience can find their own life partner through the movie, and also see modern Shanghai and Shanghai's food."
At the road show, Wang Chuanjun said: "Everyone must be craving for a bowl of scallion noodles right now. I believe Shanghai's fried pork liver will be out of stock in the next week. I hope everyone likes this film, just like every encounter with food."
Reporters learned from Shanghai Film that "Table" will launch a Shanghai food check-in map activity with some gourmet brands in Shanghai. During the movie's release, you can get the film's co-branded packages at some stores of the cooperative brands. In some stores, you can enjoy designated discounts with the ticket stubs of the movie "Table" from any theater in Shanghai and any show.

The reporter learned from Shanghai Customs today that Shanghai Port imported 504,400 batches of various legally inspected consumer goods last year with a value of 20.378 billion yuan, accounting for more than 40% of the national total and ranking first in the country in terms of scale. In addition to the legal inspection catalog, Shanghai Customs selected 10 types of consumer products that are closely related to consumers, such as infant clothing, simulated jewelry, walkie-talkies, and student stationery, to conduct random inspections. 34 batches were found to be unqualified for safety, and disposal measures have been implemented for all of them.
Shanghai Customs detected excessive migration of lead, nickel, chromium and other elements, and excessive amounts of aromatic primary amines in imported food contact products; unqualified formaldehyde content, pH value, ropes, color fastness and other items in imported clothing; unqualified VOC and formaldehyde content in imported paints; unqualified phthalate plasticizers in imported toys; and unqualified cytotoxicity items of absorbable surgical sutures in imported medical devices. The relevant person in charge said: "Through big data analysis, Shanghai Customs has accurately targeted high-risk countries (regions), high-risk brands and high-risk projects, dynamically adjusted inspection intensity, and targetedly improved inspection accuracy. While strictly controlling quality and safety, Shanghai Customs has continuously promoted the optimization structure of imported consumer goods."
Shanghai Port is my country's most important import port for medical devices and parts, accounting for about half of the country's business volume. Shanghai Customs pioneered the pilot program of quality and safety risk grading and classification of imported medical devices. For example, dynamically adjust the inspection ratio of imported medical devices based on risk assessment results, achieve targeted supervision of high-risk products and rapid customs clearance of low-risk products, and activate the vitality of the domestic medical device market. Taking the medical device production materials urgently needed by the industry as an incision, iteratively examine regulatory facilitation measures, optimize the "enterprise + product" whitelist model, promote the process of domestic substitution and the localization transformation of high-end medical devices that have been marketed overseas. Since the beginning of this year, more than 5,400 batches of low-risk medical devices have benefited, and the customs clearance time has been reduced by 80% compared with the same period last year, benefiting more than 180 importing companies such as Johnson & Johnson, Beidi, Abbott, Porco, and Medtronic.
For high-quality medical devices that are urgently needed in domestic clinical practice and urgently needed by patients, innovative inspection and supervision models such as qualification assurance, compliance verification, and acceptance of test results are adopted to ensure safe and smooth import and benefit the vast number of domestic patients. Taking the leadless cardiac pacemaker as the "star exhibit of the CIIE" as an example, Shanghai Customs has guaranteed the rapid customs clearance of more than 3,000 pacemakers of this type, and the products have been imported into more than 500 domestic hospitals.
Last year, Shanghai Customs and the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Commerce jointly launched measures to facilitate the inspection of first-time imported consumer goods. The "Enterprise + Product" white list covers all categories of first-time consumer goods such as clothing, toys, and home appliances. The commerce department recommends key enterprises and new product lists, and customs conducts safety assessments in advance to achieve information sharing and joint risk prevention. Implement a layered inspection mechanism such as "conformity assurance, assessment, and compliance verification" for first-time imported consumer products.
So far, the measures to facilitate the inspection of imported first-release consumer goods have benefited 34 multinational brand headquarters, 60 internationally renowned brands, and nearly 30,000 first-release new products. The customs clearance time for the first batch of 15,400 new products was reduced by 80%, allowing them to enter the market quickly. Driven by favorable policies, Shanghai imported 5,801 batches of first-time consumer goods from January to February this year, with a value of 130 million yuan. The average monthly batch size and value increased by 1.4 times and 1.2 times respectively year-on-year.
This year, Shanghai Customs will continue to iterate and optimize relevant measures: in the field of medical devices, it will explore "supervision classification and scenario classification" to build a differentiated supervision system for all categories; in the field of launch economy, it will promote the expansion and acceleration of facilitation measures, optimize the whitelist application method, and increase the frequency of identification of new launch products.
