New China import rules bring headaches for food and beverage makers
China's customs authority published new food safety rules in April stipulating all food manufacturing, processing and storage facilities abroad need to be registered by year-end for their goods to access the Chinese market.
But detailed procedures explaining how to get the required registration codes were only issued in October, while a website for companies allowed to self-register went online last month.
"We're heading for major disruptions after Jan 1," said a Beijing-based diplomat from a European country who is assisting food producers with the new measures.
