China: Regulations on the Listing Administration of Importers and Exporters of Imported Food (Revised Draft)
Updated on : 29-03-2026
| To implement the relevant provisions of Article 96 of the Food Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, adapt to China's needs of expanding opening-up and the rapid growth of imported food trade, ensure the safety of imported food, promote trade facilitation, and further standardize the record-filing management of importers and exporters exporting food to China, the existing Regulations on the Listing Administration of Importers and Exporters of Imported Food (Annex 1 of Announcement No. 55 of 2012 of the former General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine) have been optimized and improved. The main revised contents include: 1. Following the principle of facilitation, simplifying the content to be filled in for record-filing, reducing the record-filing information items for overseas exporters or agents of imported food from 20 to 10. 2. Following the principle of unification, revising the scope of food applicable to these provisions to be consistent with the current registration categories of overseas manufacturers exporting food to China. 3. Following the principle of stable expectations, specifying a 3-working-day customs handling time limit for the record-filing of overseas exporters or agents of imported food formerly without a handling time limit. 4. Following the principle of supervision in accordance with the law, standardizing the measures for record-filing, modification and cancellation in accordance with the relevant provisions of the superior laws, and clarifying the requirements for supervision and verification. |
