Food import solutions
With the rapid development of China's economy and the improvement of consumption ability, snack food has become an important part of people's daily food consumption. In the face of these changing market demands, imported leisure snacks continue to enter the domestic market. The customs of China is also constantly improving and tightening the food import procedures. In 2022, the more stringent regulations of the people's Republic of China on the registration and management of overseas production enterprises of imported food (Order No. 248 of the General Administration of Customs) will be started to further strengthen the standardization of overseas food production enterprises.
1、 What process is required for customs clearance of imported snack food to China? What should we pay attention to?
Filing and registration query of overseas shippers - confirmation of imported food ingredients - document replacement → inspection application → customs declaration → tax payment → customs inspection → release → delivery → inspection and label filing → inspection, inspection, signature and rectification → issuance of health certificate
2、 Routine preparation documents for customs clearance of imported food:
1. Packing list, contract, bill of lading, invoice and declaration elements (the most basic documents)
2. Original label, label translation, Chinese label design, two copies of each product name and stamped with the seal of the business unit
3. Record no. of consignee / consignor and overseas food production enterprise
4. Original certificate of origin, health certificate, test report and translation, nutrient content test report and translation (provided by foreign shippers)
5. Japan is the country of origin. The factory shall provide instructions that this product is not produced in ten radiation areas
Note: before the delivery of imported food documents, foreign countries should provide color scanning of all documents. At the same time, for national products enjoying the agreed tax rate, invoices, certificates of origin, health certificates and other documents, the original documents must be sent abroad
3、 Technical points for customs clearance of imported food:
1. chocolate, jam, jelly, etc. have high temperature requirements. In case of high temperature, refrigerated transportation shall be selected.
2. preservatives and additives added in food ingredients must meet the national standards. If they do not meet the national standards, the commodity inspection commission will require them to be returned or destroyed.
3. the original package of the product shall show the production date, shelf life and the registration number of the overseas food production enterprise.
4. when making Chinese labels, it is necessary to check whether the total energy value in the nutrient composition table meets the requirements, and compare it with the test data provided by the manufacturer through calculation.
5. as some snack foods have little or no preservatives added, the shelf life is relatively short, and the requirements for import customs clearance time are high. Therefore, to shorten the customs clearance time, all information must be provided before shipment.
6. the probability of customs and commodity inspection of imported food is very high, and the Chinese label, origin and production date of the product are strictly checked in the routine inspection.
