This report lists the major registration requirements and export certificates required for food and agricultural exports to the People’s Republic of China (PRC). In 2022, the implementation of Decree 248 created substantial hurdles to shipping certain commodities, but the PRC made no changes to export certificate requirements. U.S. exporters are advised to monitor the USDA Global Agricultural Information Network (GAIN) system for updates and to review the latest China Food and Agricultural Import Regulations and Standards (FAIRS) Narrative Report.
