China to Extend CBEC Policy Grace Period Until the End of 2017

To help enterprises to adapt to the new policy, the MOC and related departments have agreed to extend grace period of CBEC policy will be extended from May 2017 to the end of 2017.

Take home:

  • Grace period of CBEC policy will be extended from May 2017 to the end of 2017.

On 25 May 2016, China GAC released a notice granting a grace period until 11 May 2017 for CBEC trade (see CL news on May 25). During the grace period, CBEC commodities don’t need to obtain the “Customs Clearance of Entry Commodity” (CCEC). During the grace period cosmetics, infant formula, medical device, special foods (such as health food and food for special medical purposes) can still be imported via CBEC without pre-market approval by CFDA.

During the grace period, CIQs in Pilot cities will make efforts to explore proper inspection measures to improve the clearance efficiency as well as ensure food safety. To help enterprises to adapt to the new policy, the MOC and related departments have agreed to extend the grace period to the end of 2017.
