Jun 18 2007 | China, Peoples Republic of | AQSIQ Quarantine Import Permit Changes 
Highlight: All agricultural imports are required to obtain a Quarantine Import Permit (QIP) prior to importation into China. Despite long-standing concerns from the United States and other trading partners about the limitations the QIP system places on trade, little improvement in the QIP system has taken place since China's accession to the WTO. In the case of meat products, the QIP system has actually become more restrictive. Chinese officials continue to justify the relevance of the QIP system by insisting that it ensures an adequate number of port quarantine examiners are on duty to properly certify and inspect shipments upon arrival.
