China Updates Imports Covered Under Decree 248

China recently updated the list of products whose foreign production facilities are required to register under Decree 248, the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service said in a report this week. China removed from the list 239 products, including fresh and dried vegetables, spices and seasonings, certain grains, dried beans, lentils, coffee and more. But low lactose infant formula was added to the list. Under Decree 248, certain U.S. production facilities may be subject to revised customs and registration procedures before their products can enter China (see 2111040018 and 2110130022).
