What should you do after completing the registration of an imported food business?
Professional Translation: All non-Chinese materials, especially process flows and ingredient lists, must be certified by a professional translation agency. Self-translation is prone to errors that can lead to application rejection.
Accurate Information: Company names, addresses, and other details must match official documents exactly. Even a single letter or punctuation error may cause registration failure.
Plan Ahead: Registration numbers are valid for 5 years, but the application and review process takes time. For special foods requiring additional registration, such as health supplements, the process is longer. It is recommended to begin preparations 6-12 months in advance.
Ensure Label Compliance: Before the product arrives at the port, it is imperative to design Chinese labels that comply with Chinese standards and have them pre-reviewed by a professional agency to avoid having the entire shipment detained due to labeling issues.
