China GACC Registration for European Food & Beverage Establishments | Report Launch Webinar

Описание: On 1 January 2022, GACC Decree 248 came into force – requiring all overseas establishments that produce, process, or store any type of food and beverage products exported to China to register through a dedicated platform, and obtain a registration code from the General Administration of Customs of the People’s Republic of China (GACC).

However, even after a few months of enforcement, many doubts, uncertainty, and questions on different aspects of the registration process continue to exist; these are often combined with IT bugs or sudden changes in the registration system which are rarely explained. A frequent outcome is rejection of applications submitted by overseas food and beverage establishments, in turn making it temporarily impossible for them to export their products to the Chinese market. Many have reached out to the EU SME Centre seeking assistance with their specific cases.

For this reason, the EU SME Centre will publish a complete guideline to help European food & beverage businesses understand the mandatory GACC registration process.

This webinar will provide you an opportunity to get a preview of the key content in this guideline and engage directly with our expert teams. We will also invite Counsellor for Agriculture, EU Delegation in China to share the latest trends in EU-China agri-food relations.

What you will learn in this webinar:

The key steps that European food & beverage establishments must follow to complete the GACC registration process – supported by screenshots taken directly from the system as well as tips on how to avoid mistakes.
The new labelling and packaging requirements for both general products and specific product categories.
A list of Frequently Asked Questions that the EU SME Centre has received from European food & beverage establishments, and which were successfully addressed by a team of experts – often after several rounds of calls with GACC operators.
List and contact details of the food safety competent authorities in EU Member States, as close coordination with them will be required for certain food & beverage product categories.
