GACC Updates the List of Animals and Their Products Prohibited from Importation

Currently, certain animals and their products from 128 countries/regions are banned from exporting to China.

Risk monitoring has always been the emphasis of imported food supervision in China, especially with imported animals and their products for higher risk of carrying infectious virus. On February 7, 2022, General Administration of Customs of China (GACC) released the latest list of animals and their products prohibited from importing from animal epidemic affected countries/regions, which is a combination of all the prohibited items covered by individual notifications previously released by GACC and Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (MOARA).

As revealed by the updated list, currently, certain animals and their products from 128 countries/regions across five continents are banned from exporting to China. China has been adopted a quarantine system for the entry of animals and their products. Once the animals and their products from a certain country or region were listed, they wouldn't be able to obtain the quarantine permit, which would eventually cause an import failure. Stakeholders should keep an eye on the list, since it will be adjusted dynamically by GACC on the basis of the worldwide situation of animal epidemic.
