Beijing, March 19 (Xinhua) — Starting from June 1 this year, China will introduce new registration rules for foreign producers exporting food products to China, the General Administration of Customs (GAC) said.

In accordance with the updated regulations, the State Customs Service will determine a list of imported food products requiring such registration, a list of imported food products not subject to automatic renewal of registration, and a list of foreign food storage facilities that must undergo registration.

These decisions will be made based on an assessment of raw material sources, production and processing technologies, food safety data, target consumer groups and consumption practices, and in accordance with international practice.

Registration will be valid for 5 years and will be automatically renewed for another 5 years, subject to compliance with the rules. -0-
