For enterprises that still fail to meet GACC’s regulations, fixed-term solution, then export suspension or cancellation of enterprises' export status registration will be applied.
According to GACC, the COVID-19 testing on imported cold chain
food products aims to prevent and control COVID-19 scientifically and accurately
at ports and border gates, thus ensuring the safety of the product supply
