EXPORTING FOOD TO CHINA
GACC food market access and registration procedure
The exact route depends on the product category, exporting country, market access status and whether recommendation by the overseas competent authority is required.
Country and Product Market Access Review
Check whether the exporting country and the relevant food product are permitted to enter China and whether a bilateral protocol or quarantine requirement applies.
Registration Route Determination
Determine whether the establishment must be recommended by the overseas competent authority or may submit through the applicable CIFER registration route.
Enterprise Compliance Assessment
Review legal qualifications, production scope, premises, equipment, process control, GMP, SSOP, HACCP, traceability, testing and food safety records.
Application Documents and Official Review
Prepare the enterprise profile, process flow, factory layout, food safety documents, product information and required official recommendation or conformity materials.
CIFER Submission and Technical Review
Complete CIFER data entry, upload supporting files, check consistency, respond to supplementary requests and follow the GACC technical review.

After approval, verify the Chinese registration number, registered product scope, establishment information and registration validity period.
