On March 19th, it was announced at a press conference held by the General Administration of Customs that, in order to further improve the level of supervision over imported food safety and facilitate trade in imported food, the General Administration of Customs recently revised and issued the "Regulations on the Registration Management of Overseas Production Enterprises of Imported Food of the Peoples Republic of China" and supporting implementation announcements. The relevant policies and measures will officially take effect on June 1, 2026. Li Jinsong, Director of the Import and Export Food Safety Bureau of the General Administration of Customs, stated that the new regulations place greater emphasis on implementing the "strictest standards" for food safety, strengthening source management and full-process supervision.
