China: Exporter Alert - Lack of Response by China Customs on Establishment Registrations Creates Challenges for United States Protein Exports
In February 2025, four U.S. beef, seven dairy, two pork, and 71 poultry establishments that export to China had their registrations lapse on the General Administration of Customs of China (GACC) website. While these facilities represent a portion of the overall number eligible to export to China, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has not acted on recent U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requests to renew establishment registrations and are now listed as “overdue” for their expiry date renewal. As of February 25, GACC has cleared shipments from facilities whose registration has lapsed, and Post discussions with other countries who had similar issues previously suggests that GACC continued to facilitate trade while the countries worked to renew registrations. The expiry date for several hundred more U.S. establishments is in March and April and GACC has not responded to U.S. Government facility registration renewal requests.
