USDA Issues Report on New China Dairy Import Procedures

The U.S. Department of Agriculture Foreign Agricultural Service issued a report Aug. 6 detailing China’s new imported dairy product customs procedures (see 2107080023), which now allows importers to certify to possession of testing reports on imported dairy products instead of submitting the originals to the country’s customs agency. USDA released English translations of the report and the annexes, which include guidance for following the new procedures.
