In accordance with “Supervision and Management Measures for the Inspection and Quarantine of Import and Export Feed and Feed Additives”, GENERAL ADMINISTRATION OF CUSTOMS, P.R.CHINA (GACC) shall conduct risk analysis of the countries or regions that export feed to China for the first time, and conduct retrospective review of the countries and regions that have already exported or are exporting feed to China. According to the results of risk analysis and retrospective review, GACC will adjust and publish the white list of countries and regions allowed to export feed and the permitted feed categories.

In addition, on this basis, GACC implements the registration system on the manufacturers of the countries or regions that allow exporting feed to China. Only the feed from the registered manufacturers is allowed to export to China. For example, pet food is a kind of feed product, if the overseas manufacturer of the imported pet food has not been approved by GACC, it cannot export their pet food to China.

All export companies still need to go through the registration of China Customs separately.

NOTE: At the same time, it should be noted that before registration, overseas pet food manufacturers should ensure that no raw materials involved in animal epidemic bans are used in their pet food. Companies can search for prohibited animal raw materials and their origin according to “List of animals and animal products prohibited from entering China because of the animal diseases in the countries/region”. GACC will adjust this list according to animal epidemic ban announcements, risk warning notices, and bilateral agreements, etc., adding new prohibited animals and their products and origins, or lifting restrictions on certain animals and their products.
