USDA Foreign Agriculture Service China will host a webinar on July 6 at 8 p.m. EST with the General Administration of China Customs (GACC) targeting U.S. food producers interested in exporting to China. The webinar will explain how to complete the self-registration procedures required under Chinese GACC's Decree 248. It will also provide an opportunity for food exporters to ask GACC questions about Decree 248.

This webinar will only address the process for self-registration. Self-registration is primarily required for processed food products. To distinguish whether your product must self-register under Decree 248, or if it must be registered by the competent U.S. authority, please review the latest GAIN report here (Introduction to Facility Registration Under Decree 248, June 2, 2022 https://bit.ly/3OmJN4R). The webinar will not address U.S. competent authority registration.

The webinar can accommodate 500 participants. Please use this link
