China: MARA Feed Catalog Published

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   CH2021-0079

On March 3, 2021, MARA published an updated feed catalog consolidating the 2012 version and subsequent revisions issued over the last several years. MARA indicated that, going forward, the feed catalog will be updated in a timely manner based on new revisions. All feed and feed ingredients must be listed in the MARA catalog in order to be eligible for import into China. This report contains an UNOFFICIAL translation of the catalog but U.S. exporters should remain aware that the original catalog, in Chinese, is the authoritative source. Exporters should consult with their importers for the most accurate definition of a "raw material" and ensure that their product is listed before exporting to China.
