BQCIS

Expert Navigation of China's Complex Food Import Regulations

Exporting food and beverages to China requires precise adherence to the General Administration of Customs of China (GACC) regulatory framework. Following Decree 248 (Overseas Facility Registration) and Decree 249 (Inspection & Quarantine), all producers must demonstrate compliance with Chinese GB National Food Safety Standards.

BQCIS offers end-to-end GACC compliance solutions—from CIFER registration and documentation through pre-shipment testing and on-site CIQ coordination. Our experts ensure that every product, label, and certificate aligns with Chinese import regulations and inspection expectations.

With BQCIS as your compliance partner, your facility gains sustained export clearance, brand integrity, and risk-free access to the Chinese market.
