Health & Supplement Export FAQs

Common questions about exporting supplements to China.

Are supplements regulated as food or drugs in China?
There are three categories: Health Food (SAMR registration, "blue hat" mark), general food (GACC filing) and drugs. This differs fundamentally from the US FDA DSHEA framework or UK MHRA rules - classification determines your entire approval path. We advise US and UK brands on the right category.
How long does health food registration take?
SAMR health food registration typically takes 12-24 months with extensive safety and efficacy evidence. Cross-border e-commerce is a faster route for US and UK brands entering the market.
Can I sell supplements as general food?
Only if the product makes no health claims and contains no approval-required ingredients. Many effective ingredients familiar to US and UK consumers are restricted to the health food list.
What labeling is required for imported supplements?
Depending on category: GB 7718/GB 28050 for general food, or health food labeling rules with the blue hat mark. Labels differ from FDA and UK supplement rules - we create compliant ones.
Are all supplement ingredients approved in China?
No. China has a positive list of permitted health food ingredients and a separate list for general food. Unlisted ingredients require individual approval - we review your formulation against US and UK ingredient inventories.
Can I sell supplements through cross-border e-commerce?
Yes. Cross-border allows many supplements to be sold without local approval - the fastest option for US and UK brands, with clear rules we navigate for you.
