On September 4, 2024, GACC updated CIFER, which results in a change in how products are registered in connection with listing to China.
Single Window/CIFER was updated on September 4, 2024. Based on information from GACC, the update is part of an effort to streamline the listing process in CIFER. Aquatic products have been chosen as a pilot in this process. For already registered businesses, separate approval dates for individual products no longer apply, and the approval date for the business will be leading.
The information below is taken from CIFER:
According to the requirements of GACC, the registration of overseas manufacturers of aquatic products is adjusted, as follows:
Adjust the filling elements of manufacturer registration, so that manufacturers do not need to fill in the "HS code", "CIQ code" and other information related to product codes when applying for registration and modification.
Overseas aquatic product manufacturers that have been registered in China, their registered products are "aquatic products", and the manufacturers can view the products that can be exported to China through the "Comprehensive enquiry - Registered in China" ,and the "Registered products category" can query the products that can be exported to China.
For other adjustments such as "Production Type" and "Production Processing Capacity (Tons/Year)", please refer to the system interface.
The change means that it is no longer necessary for manufacturers to apply for specific products with the following item numbers as before, but they must ensure that exported products are on the list of approved products for export from Norway. We have previously written about the approval list for China and more information can be found here.
