Customs authorities in Xiamen, China, have established special working groups to ensure smooth import procedures for Serbian agricultural products, according to Serbia’s Ministry of Agriculture. This guarantees timely delivery in compliance with strict Chinese standards.
A Serbian delegation, led by Minister of Agriculture Dragan Glamočić, was officially received in Xiamen. The first container of Serbian products arrived in China on June 10, marking the opening of the market for Serbian goods in the city’s complex customs zone.
Thanks to the Free Trade Agreement signed between Serbia and China, 95% of trade value is exempt from tariffs, giving Serbian agricultural and food products a competitive advantage. Enhanced cooperation between Serbian and Chinese customs aims to ensure faster, more reliable deliveries while meeting high standards.
Xiamen will also host the “Serbian House,” promoting Serbian culture, tourism, and economy, and serving as a platform to expand exports not only to China but also to Japan, Korea, and other RCEP countries.
Xiamen’s logistics hub is strategically significant, handling over 5.9 million containers in the first half of 2025 and facilitating trade worth more than $128 billion in 2024, demonstrating its importance for Serbian products entering the Chinese and regional markets.
