It is understood that the king cobra (Ophiophagus hannah) belongs to the genus Ophiophagus . It is the largest venomous snake in the world and also the venomous snake with the largest amount of venom in the world . They have ferocious temperament and extremely quick reaction. They are one of the most dangerous snakes in the world. They are mainly distributed in Southeast Asia and South Asia abroad.

Once this species enters the country, it will pose a serious threat to people's life safety and the domestic ecosystem.

At present, Zhangjiagang Customs has contacted the relevant departments and is waiting for follow-up processing.

Zhangjiagang Port in Jiangsu Province is my country's main distribution center for imported broadleaf timber. Due to the low management level and backward processing conditions at many timber origins, foreign pests such as snakes, scorpions, centipedes, poisonous spiders, etc. are frequently intercepted during the quarantine and supervision of imported timber.

Nanjing Customs will strengthen quarantine inspection and supervision of goods of the same origin and similar types to prevent the introduction of foreign organisms and animal and plant epidemics and ensure biological safety at ports and national borders.
