The Pet Food Institute is holding a special training session for its members and others from the US petfood industry on China's facility certification and product registration requirements on July 30 in Washington. The training program coincides with the Association of American Feed Control Officials annual meeting.
For US companies to export petfood to China, the US Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Services must certify to China's General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine that the manufacturing facility meets specific requirements and the products must be registered with China's Ministry of Agriculture . At the training program, a representative from AQSIQ will provide an overview of the agency's requirements.
