China: USA Dairy Pork and Poultry Registrations Renewed while Beef Remains Overdue

On March 15 and 17, the General Administration of Customs of China renewed or extended the facility registrations by five years for approximately 14 U.S. dairy, 210 U.S. poultry, and 365 U.S. pork establishments. The establishments had been listed as “overdue” or were about to be “overdue” at the beginning of April 2025. As of March 18, at 12:00 p.m. GACC has not updated its website to remove the “overdue” language for approximately 386 of the 654 U.S. establishments registered to export beef and beef products to China. In 2024, the United States exported $1.6 billion in beef to China, making it the third largest export destination for American ranchers and agribusiness. China was the United States’ number three market for pork, poultry, and dairy in 2024 as exports were $1.1 billion, $0.5 billion, and $0.6 billion respectively. Additional non-tariff barriers continue to disadvantage U.S. meat, poultry, and dairy exports to China.
