The update does not necessarily mean that they will be able to export to China immediately. In pursuant of Artile 3, “Measures for the Administration of registration of imported feed and feed additives” by Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of P.R. China, “The overseas enterprise shall file an application for import registration with the Ministry of Agriculture and obtain an import registration license for feed and feed additives before exporting a feed and feed additive to China for the first time.” Imported feed and feed additives shall not be sold and used in China without an import registration license. As a result, those companies listed in GACC approved list should also complete MARA product registration. The export can be eligible when both GACC and MARA registration competed. Remind to importers: please confirm with foreign feed additive suppliers if they have product registrations from MARA before signing contract. Or importers may encounter custom clearance problems during import link.
