On September 25, 2017, China notified the World Trade Organization of an Addendum to the "Measures for the Administration of Certificates Attached to Foods Exported to China” (notified as TBT 1209 and commonly referenced as Measure #327). The Addendum grants a two-year transitional period on the implementation of the measures from October 1, 2017, to September 30, 2019. This report contains a link to the text of the Addendum. In the unlikely event that U.S. exporters are requested to provide the proposed certificate along with export consignments, kindly contact the Office of Agricultural Affairs at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing.
