The General Administration of Customs of China (GACC) has made available the sanitary certificate template applicable to Brazilian exports of frozen fruit and pulp in its system. With this, interested establishments can now register in the China Import Food Enterprise Registration (CIFER) system, a necessary step for enabling exports to the Chinese market. The procedure applies to frozen fruit and pulp produced from species already recognized as food by Chinese authorities. Among the products covered are açaí, mango, guava, pineapple, passion fruit, and other fruits admitted for human consumption in China. Fruits not yet recognized remain subject to the specific regulatory procedures foreseen in Chinese legislation for novel foods. Registration in the CIFER system must be carried out directly by the exporting establishment, responsible for sending the required documentation. After GACC approval, a registration number will be assigned to the establishment, a requirement for export. Shipments must be accompanied by the official sanitary certificate agreed upon between the two countries.
