Successfully importing prepackaged food into China starts with meeting the right regulatory qualifications. Both importers and overseas manufacturers must be fully compliant to ensure smooth customs clearance.

Here’s what you need to know:

1. Qualifications for the Food Importer (China)

• A valid Food Distribution License, issued by the Chinese market supervision authority

• Food import/export filing with China Customs, officially registered as a food importer

2. Registration of Overseas Manufacturers

• Overseas food producers must be registered with the General Administration of Customs of China (GACC)

• A China registration number is mandatory before products are allowed to enter the Chinese market

Only when all the above requirements are fulfilled can prepackaged food imports proceed efficiently and compliantly.
