German media: Chinese moon cakes to go abroad difficult

German "Voice of Germany" website September 12 article, the original title: Chinese Moon Cakes Export German market threshold more than the Mid-autumn Festival approaching, there are Chinese media complained that many European countries are now expressly prohibit the receipt of moon cakes from China, including Germany.　　To this end, the Taiwan reporter consulted the German Customs Information Center, the department said that there is no special provisions for mooncakes from China, but strict customs reporting system, indeed to China's moon cakes add a lot of trouble. September 22 is the traditional Chinese mid-Autumn Festival. It is not difficult for Chinese in Germany to eat a mooncake, but the taste of mooncakes purchased in local Asian supermarkets is limited, and it is feared that a limited variety of flavors will be more difficult to buy in the future. For European countries to prohibit the receipt of Chinese mooncakes, voice of Germany in the call to the German Customs Information Center, the answer is: "Our computer system does not find a ban on the provision of Chinese mooncakes, but also can not say that all Chinese mooncakes are not in line with German standards." "In fact, whether it is China or other countries exported to Germany, moon cakes or other food, German customs will be in accordance with the relevant provisions of food import strict inspection and reporting, and will not generalize a ban on a certain country food." But to be sure, this year compared to previous years, it is difficult to mail mooncakes to Germany. Reporter telephone interview a Tianjin postal user, this woman said, this year the Post office management is relatively strict, "before the Chinese post office, the sugar content of the moon cakes can be sent, but this year, whether it is high sugar content or low moon cakes, generally do not let send." However, if someone insisted that the post office to send, the results of the foreign customs still have to be returned, because our country's moon cakes contain too much sugar, exceeding foreign standards.　　Therefore, the Post Office also advised me not to send this year, it is useless to send. As countries around the world have different standards for food quarantine, those Chinese food exporters should consider how to make products that meet the standards and safety of foreign food. Otherwise, the so-called "green barriers" can only be blocked outside the door. ▲
