Coming Soon: New Chinese Import Rules for Organic Products

The Chinese national authority for certification and accreditation (CNCA) has opened a comment period on a revision draft  of the National Administrative Rules for Organic Product Certification.  This includes revisions to Chapter Four, “Supervision and Administration of Importing Organic Products.”  The revised rules  are expected to be issued in the end of 2010 or in the beginning of 2011. The November  2010 issue of the GOMA newsletter will feature additional information on the changes in the import requirements.
