Recently, a shipment of 3,000 metric tons of imported potash fertilizer arrived at Baiyang Port and was cleared and unloaded at the same time, thanks to a smart waterborne transport platform introduced by Yichang Customs. What used to take two days now happens with “zero-wait” clearance.

　　To support spring farming, Yichang Customs has opened a green channel for agricultural supplies, using tools like advance declaration, appointment-based inspection, and direct pickup at the dock. The smart platform connects customs and port data, allowing real-time information sharing that speeds up logistics. This helps ensure that essential farming inputs arrive on time, strengthening agricultural supply chains and highlighting Yichang’s focus on smoother trade and food security.
