From Apr, China has introduced a series of new regulatory requirements for cross-border e-commerce import, including a new tax system, positive list, registration requirement for infant formula, health food, etc. as well as the requirement for obtaining Customs Clearance of Entry Commodity” (CCEC). CCEC is a passport for goods entry to China, which constitutes a great regulatory barrier for a number of CBEC dealers as they are unable to provide full documentation for application of a CCEC. Compared with the previous extremely lax import environment, the reformed intensified supervision regime almost drives CBEC back to the model similar to the traditional import.
Although China grants one year grace period for CBEC which is a great relief for many stakeholders now, one year may not be enough to optimize product portfolios and finish registration of some product categories, such as health food. To make preparation as early as possible would be one of the best solutions for accessing the Chinese market when the tradition period ends.
This webinar with special focus on CBEC food will concentrate on comparison of the previous and new regulatory systems for CBEC and analysis of new tax policy and other important requirements. Through comprehensive interpretation, the webinar will also give suggestions for oversea food companies which bring their products via CBEC and share future supervision trend.
