Consulting on Chinese Labeling

​

Compliant labels are very important for customs inspection and clearance when it comes to the importation of agricultural and food products. According to the requirements of General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of P.R. China, before pre-packaged food is imported or distributed into China, labeling verification must be sought as well as conformity test must be done.

 

In China, pre-packaged food products are subject to many detailed and onerous regulations and national standards, meanwhile different local authorities may have a different interpretation on the regulations and different control measures on import requirements. Exporting to different areas of China shall each be treated as an individual case in order to avoid potential issues. Not having a clear understanding of the Chinese standards of the product you are exporting to China could be one of the most costly mistakes. Overseas products will be detained, rejected or even destroyed due to non-compliant labeling.
