On 1 October 1953, the Tientsin Customs and the Merchandise Inspection
Bureau adopted a new tentative procedure for inspecting commodities prior to
export. Under the old system separate inspections at both the processing
factory and at the pier warehouse were required. Now, after receipt of the
export request forms, the Customs and the Inspection Bureau send a joint in-
spection team to the processing factory to complete the examination in one
operation.
The Tientsin Livestock Products Company recently undertook to export a ton
and a half of commodities. Under the new system the company was able to save
18,200 yuan in handling charges. By transporting the commodities directly from
the factory to the ship, the company was able to save a 10-day warehouse storage
fee of 18,150 yaian. A shortage of pier warehouse storage facilities now exists
at Tientsin harbor as a result of the large accumulation of commodities await-
ing export. The new procedure will help solve this problem.
