China: FAIRS Export Certificate Report

This report lists the major registration requirements and export certificates required for food and agricultural exports to the People’s Republic of China. The country’s import documentation requirements are dynamic, with the Chinese government’s efforts to improve the food safety regulatory framework. In 2020, China notified to the WTO two major pieces of food and agricultural import related regulations for comment: 1) the AQSIQ Administrative Measures for the Safety of Imported and Exported Foods (Decree 144) and 2) the AQSIQ Administrative Measures for Registration of Overseas Manufacturers of Imported Food (Decree 145). Once finalized, these two measures will result in significant changes in the requirements for food and agriculture imports. Please monitor the USDA GAIN system, including the latest China Food and Agricultural Import Regulations and Standards (FAIRS) Narrative Report, for updates to China’s food and agricultural regulatory system.
