1. Vietnam’s Resolution No. 66.13/2026/NQ-CP restructures pre‑market approval into two pathways—Declaration of Applied Standards and Product Declaration Registration—expanding scope to more pre‑packaged foods and supplemented foods while redefining exemptions. 2. For imported and special foods (health supplements, medical foods, foods for special diets, and supplemented foods with claims), the Resolution tightens technical dossier requirements and extends the review period up to 90 days, but simplifies consular legalization and allows more flexible testing options. 3. Existing products receive a 12–24 month transition period to update declarations and registrations, after which old approvals cannot be used for new production or import, though previously produced/imported goods may be sold until expiry.
On January 27, 2026, the Government of Vietnam issued Resolution No. 66.13/2026/NQ-CP of the Government: Regulations on Declaration and Registration of Food Products. This Resolution shall be effective from the date of signing until a replacement document is issued for the Food Safety Law dated June 17, 2010, but no later than February 28, 2027.

China's overseas food manufacturer registration, commonly referred to as GACC/CIFER registration, has been in force since 2022 and applies to all foreign food manufacturers exporting to China. The system requires eligible producers to obtain registration prior to export, ensuring compliance with China's food safety and regulatory standards.
A new regulatory framework is set to take effect on June 1, 2026, introducing updated requirements and procedures that will further impact overseas manufacturers.
