The Qinzhou Port Area of China (Guangxi) Pilot Free Trade Zone (FTZ) has utilized the advantages of live cattle import ports and, in collaboration with Nanning Customs, to pioneer a series of comprehensive reforms in the quarantine supervision of imported breeding cattle.

This initiative, driven by a combination of institution and technology, has achieved breakthrough innovations in optimizing regulatory processes, integrating resources, and enhancing risk control measures.

The Qinzhou Port Area has implemented a sophisticated visual supervision system that integrates high-precision Beidou positioning terminals with the customs monitoring and command center. This system facilitates the display of real-time vehicle locations and movement patterns while dynamically linking them to declared data. It provides a replicable, contactless, and scalable intelligent model for the supervision of livestock transportation.

To tackle challenges such as extended processing times and hemolysis during blood sample analysis, the Qinzhou Port Area has implemented an innovative approach by relocating the serum separation procedure to the port's isolation yard. Guided by customs protocols, personnel at the isolation yard perform on-site centrifugation of samples, which enhances the integrity of the specimens. Once characterized as compliant, the samples are transported to the laboratory for analysis. This strategic relocation not only ensures the precision of the test results but also expedites the customs clearance process for imported breeding cattle.

Additionally, the Qinzhou Port Area has broken through geographical constraints by collaborating with the technology center of Nanning Customs and its affiliated institutions, establishing a comprehensive laboratory collaboration network.
