China: Important Reminder - Required Registration of Overseas Grain and Oilseed Enterprises
Pursuant to General Administration of Customs of the People’s Republic of China (GACC) Decree 177 of 2016, all overseas production, processing and storage enterprises are required to register with GACC prior to exporting “grains” including soybeans, corn, wheat, barley, sorghum, and oats – including edible grains. These requirements are in addition to U.S. requirements under the United States Grain Standards Act (USGSA), which requires the registration of all persons engaged in the business of buying grain for sale in foreign commerce, and in the business of handling, weighing, or transporting grain for sale in foreign commerce. Each year, U.S. enterprises must register with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Marketing Service’s (AMS) Federal Grain Inspection Service (FGIS) before shipping “grains” to China. This report is a reminder for entities to register by December 15 to be included on the FGIS Registered Grain Exporters Directory which is generally submitted to GACC in early January.
