PRODUCT CLASSIFICATION DATABASE
Primary and Secondary Food Categories
Search by product name, HS Code, CIQ Code or directory number. The secondary directory numbering format is retained exactly as provided in the HS Code attachments.
HS / CIQ CODE SEARCH
Confirm the Applicable Product Classification
Use the database as an initial registration-screening tool. Final classification should consider ingredients, processing method, intended use and Chinese Customs declaration requirements.

Important classification notice
If no relevant HS/CIQ code is found, the product currently does not need overseas manufacturer registration in the China Customs CIFER system. This does not automatically mean that the product may be exported to China. Product access, quarantine requirements, food standards, labelling and importer obligations must still be assessed separately.
SUITABLE ENTERPRISES
Enterprises Suitable for Engaging Beijing Litianda
Professional support is especially valuable when classification, CIFER filing, documentation or China market-access requirements cannot be handled efficiently by the manufacturer alone.
Products with Unclear Classification
Enterprises whose products may correspond to several HS Codes, CIQ names or secondary categories because of differences in ingredients, processing methods, intended use or product form.
Applications Previously Returned
Manufacturers whose applications were returned, rejected or repeatedly requested for correction because of inconsistent information, insufficient evidence or an incorrect application route.
Multiple Products or Complex Portfolios
Enterprises applying for several products, specifications or brands that require a clear product matrix, unified technical descriptions and consistent supporting documents.
Limited Internal Regulatory Resources
Small and medium-sized manufacturers without a dedicated China compliance team, Chinese-speaking staff or sufficient time to prepare and verify the application independently.
Time-Sensitive Export Projects
Businesses with confirmed buyers, shipment plans or market-entry schedules that need organised preparation, fewer avoidable corrections and efficient project coordination.
Affordable Professional Support
Affordable fees. Save your time and reduce your costs.
Early classification, standardised documentation and consistent CIFER data help reduce repeated corrections, unnecessary waiting and internal coordination expenses.
GACC REVIEW PRINCIPLES
How China Customs Evaluates an Application
Approval depends on a coherent evidence chain rather than completion of CIFER fields alone.
Correct Classification
The CIFER category must be supported by the product name, ingredients, process, intended use and HS/CIQ combination. A commercial description alone is not sufficient.
Authentic Establishment
The applicant, production address, manufacturing licence and actual processing activities must refer to the same establishment. The roles of manufacturer, trader and brand owner must not be confused.
Matching Scope
The licensed activities, CIFER category, product list, production line and products intended for China must correspond with one another.
Closed Evidence Chain
Every material application statement should be supported by a licence, flow chart, formulation, photograph, procedure, record or other verifiable evidence.
Controlled Food-Safety Risks
The manufacturer should identify and control risks involving raw materials, allergens, additives, microorganisms, chemical contaminants, foreign matter, packaging, storage and transport.
Consistent Information
Information in CIFER, licences, attachments, labels and import declarations must remain consistent. Variations in the company name, address or product description frequently cause applications to be returned.
BEIJING LITIANDA
Our Professional Services
Product-specific support covering classification, evidence preparation, CIFER filing, technical responses and export compliance.
Registration Feasibility Assessment
Determine whether the product follows the non-recommended application route and review market-access restrictions, product category, manufacturing entity and licensing conditions.
HS/CIQ and CIFER Classification
Assess ingredients, processing and intended use to establish the product scope, CIFER category and appropriate HS/CIQ declaration combination.
Document List and Gap Analysis
Provide a tailored bilingual document checklist and identify gaps involving licences, addresses, authorised scope, products and the food-safety management system.
Application-Document Preparation
Organise establishment information, product lists, manufacturing flows, plant layouts, food-safety documents, declarations and the supporting-document index.
CIFER System Filing
Complete the account, establishment profile, product category, product information and attachments, followed by a field-by-field technical review.
Corrections and Review Communication
Analyse the reason for return, prepare technical explanations and supporting evidence, and ensure that corrections remain consistent with the original application.
Post-Registration Maintenance
Support registration changes, approved-scope management, renewal matters, exception handling and registration-status monitoring.
First-Shipment Compliance Review
Check labels, the China registration number, official or commercial documents, Customs declaration elements and consistency with the approved product scope.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT STANDARD
Complete once. Close every issue. Aim for approval at the first formal submission.
Beijing Litianda does more than enter data into CIFER. We control application quality through product classification, evidence organisation, field consistency and the underlying GACC review logic.

OUR ADVANTAGES
Why Work with Beijing Litianda
Classification Based on Product Reality
We do not mechanically apply an HS Code. We assess the complete chain of product characteristics, ingredients, process, intended use and regulatory category.
First-Submission Quality Control
Multiple consistency reviews are completed before filing to remove common return points and improve the quality of the first formal submission.
Detailed CIFER Field Knowledge
We organise establishment information, production activities, product data and evidence around the structure of the non-recommended CIFER application pages.
Chinese and English Documentation
We convert original licences, formulations, process descriptions and food-safety materials into clear, consistent documents suitable for technical review.
End-to-End Project Management
The same team follows market-access assessment, classification, documentation, filing, supplementation, approval and export preparation, reducing internal coordination costs.
Professional and Cost-Efficient Support
Early classification and standardised preparation reduce avoidable errors, repeated corrections and waiting time, helping the manufacturer control both time and cost.
Beijing-Based Regulatory Support
We closely follow GACC registration policy, CIFER system changes and practical feedback from the China import process so that the application strategy can be adjusted promptly.
START WITH THE CORRECT PRODUCT CLASSIFICATION
Confirm the HS/CIQ and CIFER category before starting the GACC application
The same HS Code may correspond to different CIQ names or CIFER categories. A formal application should be based on the product’s actual ingredients, manufacturing process, intended use and current regulatory requirements.
