On the night before the May 1st deadline for the registration of overseas dairy manufacturers, China CNCA released the much anticipated list of registered overseas infant formula manufacturers and the list of other registered dairy manufacturers respectively. Dairy products made by these companies can continue to be exported to China after 1 May this year.
Manufacturers that have undergone successful CNCA audit have taken the most significant step towards sucessful compliance and ultimatly market access. On the other end of the spectrum are manufacturers yet to undergo audit for which no clear rulings have been issued. For instance, China is one of the largest importers of New Zealand infant formula milk powder while only 8 of New Zealand's 13 infant formula manufacturers who control 90% of the nation's infant formula exports have been approved under new regulations that came into force today. The remaining 5 are still busying with improvement or modification of their manufacturing facilities in compliance with Chinese regulations.
Opportunity is still open for those competent but failing the site audit conducted by officials from China CNCA prior to May 1st. According to China CNCA, lists published this time are not final and will be subject to update whenever other unlisted manufacturers can satisfy the registration requirements. As exporters and brand-owners, it is highly recommended to develop a close association with a registered manufacturer as it is the Chinese goverment's intention of implemtenting the new rules to further ensure the quality and safety by sorting out the link between the manufacturer of a product and those selling it.
