中国海关对进口食品和农业原材料的新规定

In China, new regulations for the import of food and agricultural raw materials came into force on 1 January 2022. Food producers who export their products to China must register online with Chinese customs. The same applies to companies that process or store these goods.

New regulations in food monitoring

Our WESSLING team in Shanghai is happy to assist companies that need to deal with these new regulations at short notice. The new import regulations were published by the China Customs Service in April 2021. Detailed instructions were only issued in October and the portal needed for online  registration was activated in November. Not much time, then, for food producers who want to import their goods into China.
