Pet Food Export FAQs

Common questions about exporting pet food to China.

Does pet food need GACC registration?
Yes. Pet food manufacturers must register with GACC under Decree 248. Additionally, imported pet feed may require registration with China's Ministry of Agriculture (MOA). We handle both registrations.
What types of pet food are covered?
All pet food products — including dog food, cat food, treats, supplements, and specialized diets — are subject to GACC registration. Some ingredients may require additional approval from Chinese authorities.
How long does pet food registration take?
GACC registration for pet food manufacturers typically takes 4-8 weeks. MOA feed registration, if required, can take an additional 6-12 months depending on the product category and ingredients.
Are there ingredient restrictions for pet food in China?
Yes. China maintains a list of approved feed ingredients. Some ingredients common in Western pet food may not be approved in China. We review your ingredient list and identify any regulatory issues before submission.
What labeling is required for imported pet food?
Pet food labels in Chinese must include: product name, ingredients list, guaranteed analysis, feeding instructions, manufacturer information, production date, shelf life, and storage conditions.
Is the Chinese pet food market growing?
Yes. China's pet food market is one of the fastest-growing in the world, with annual growth exceeding 15%. The rising middle class and increasing pet ownership create significant opportunities for international brands.
