Meat & Seafood Export FAQs

Common questions about exporting meat and seafood to China.

What is CIFER registration?

CIFER is China’s online system for registering overseas food manufacturers. Meat and seafood facilities - including US pork and beef plants and UK lamb processors - must register before they can export to China.

Learn More → GACC Registration

Which countries can export meat to China?

Only countries with a bilateral market access agreement with China can export meat. The US, UK, Canada and Australia all have access for certain species - US beef and pork, UK lamb - with restrictions that change over time. We verify the current status for you.

How long does meat product registration take?

CIFER registration typically takes 3-8 months. Country-specific market access protocols between your government and China - such as the protocols negotiated for US plants - may also apply.

What labeling is required for imported meat?

Imported meat needs Chinese labels with all mandatory elements under GB 7718, plus product-specific details such as origin, slaughter date and facility code. US and UK packaging must be reformatted for Chinese buyers.

Do seafood and fish need the same registration as meat?

Yes, seafood falls under CIFER registration too. Depending on category (farmed vs. wild-caught), additional traceability and health certificate requirements may apply - US and UK seafood exporters should prepare veterinary certificates early.

Can we use the same registration for multiple product lines?

One registration covers one facility but can include multiple product lines produced there. US and UK plants often register several cuts and species under one facility - we verify which combinations are permitted for your plant.
