China to Assess New Supervision Model during CBEC Transition Period
May 31, 2016
China will assess new supervision models for CBEC but would not forgo registration or filing requirements for products under the pre-market approval system. Within two months, China has made a series of abrupt changes on importing requirements for CBEC commodities, including bringing them under the tax system for general goods, formulating a “positive list”, requiring products such as cosmetic, infant formula, health food, medical foods, etc. to be registered prior to import and requiring part of products listed in the positive list to have the “Customs Clearance of Entry Commodity” (CCEC). CCEC is a passport for goods entry to China, which constitutes a great regulatory barrier for a number of CBEC dealers as they are unable to provide full documentation for applicat...

AQSIQ Introduces Facilitation Measures for CBEC Customs Clearance
May 20, 2016
Since the release of China’s CBEC positive lists, CBEC stakeholders have been at the mercy of China’s regulators who have vacillated from pronouncements of extremely stringent regulation to announcements of extended grace periods that essentially amounted to a “business as usual” greenlight from authorities to CBEC traders.

China Considers Backtracking on Disruptive CBEC Reforms
May 10, 2016
It’s been one month since the issuance and implementation of the new CBEC tax policy and positive lists for cross-border e-commerce in China. Guidance issued with the two batches of CBEC positive lists, clearly state that articles imported through CBEC bonded zones should have a clearance sheet. To obtain the “market-entry ticket”, companies need to follow import procedures for traditionally imported goods by submitting a series of documents. Products like imported non-special use cosmetics and special use cosmetics should have pre-market approvals. Some types of overseas manufacturers should be approved as well. The new regulations have threaten to be a huge dampener on the wild fire growth CBEC has seen over the last several years. The past month has been hard for many CBEC companies who are struggling to adjust prod...

Cosmetics Traded through CBEC Require Approval from CFDA
Apr 15, 2016
On April 14 2016, China Ministry of Finance released an announcement to explain the note “cosmetics imported for the first time excluded” in the China CBEC Commodities Positive List. The announcement states that in the future cosmetics sold through CBEC shall obtain administrative license or filing certificate based on the rule stipulated by the Regulations concerning the Hygiene Supervision over Cosmetics “cosmetics imported for the first time shall obtain the administrative license granted by the CFDA (filing for non-special use cosmetics)”. The actual meaning of CBEC “positive list” is finally clear. Categories excluded from the list are not permitted to be imported and cosmetics in the list are required to be registered or file a record with the CFDA prior to being imported to China via CBEC.
