A : → The USDA Foreign Agricultural Service has prepared the China Food and Agricultural Import Regulations and Standards Country Report providing an comprehensive index of all agricultural product import regulations and standards translated by the Agricultural Affairs Office at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing.
Q : → I'm looking for the actual (2007) regulation for the imports of food products to China Mainland. can this be found on line? In particular I'm interested in the import licences rights: - At the beginning of 2005 full import licenses were only available to large state-owned and domestic private companies. Private Chinese companies must have met certain criteria (import levels, annual revenue, and number of employees) before qualifying for an import license. Has something changed since then? - At the beginning of 2005 foreign distributors, joint venture companies (JV) and wholly owned foreign enterprises (WOFE) could only import goods for internal manufacturing and materials for the manufacturing process. They could not function as a trader to re-sell the imported products directly to another buyer or the end-user. Has something changed since then? Your answer would be appreciated.
