Is it okay to import food without Chinese labels? What penalties will there be

No, according to the Product Quality Law of the People's Republic of China, imported products must have a Chinese mark for sale in the domestic market. The general way to deal with it is domestic labeling, of course, if there is no label filing review in the early stage, then this processing cycle may be a little long.

Clause. First, see if there is a Chinese label on the package. The content of the label must not only be identical to the content in the foreign language, but must also include the following items:

The name of the food, the ingredient composition, the net content and the solid content, the country or region of origin, the date of production, the shelf life, the storage guide, the name and address of the manufacturing, packaging, packaging or distribution unit, the name and address of the general distributor in China, etc.

Clause. Second, see whether there is a laser anti-counterfeiting "CIQ" logo. "CIQ" is the abbreviation of "China Inspection and Quarantine", and the anti-counterfeiting mark has been uniformly affixed to imported food that has passed the inspection and quarantine since 2000.

Third, see if the distributor has an "imported food hygiene certificate". The certificate is issued by the inspection and quarantine department after passing the inspection and quarantine of imported food, and the certificate indicates the detailed information of the imported food, including the production batch number. Only if the goods certificate matches can it be proved that the food is genuinely imported.

[Legal Analysis].The state attaches great importance to food safety and severely cracks down on enterprises and institutions that violate the law and commit crimes regardless of the safety of the people. If it is an imported product, it can be imported without a Chinese label, but it can only be sold in the market after the Chinese label is affixed, and the goods arrive at the port with the commodity inspection bureau to declare truthfully, saying that the Chinese label is not affixed, and then the designed Chinese label will be sent to the commodity inspection bureau Tuanzhou for review, and then affixed after the review is passed.

[Legal basis]."Amendment to the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China" 24. Amend Article 143 of the Criminal Law to read: "Whoever produces or sells food that does not meet the standards for food safety and disadvantages, which is sufficient to cause a serious food poisoning accident or other serious foodborne disease, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or short-term detention and shall also be fined; where serious harm is caused to human health or there are other serious circumstances, a sentence of between three and seven years imprisonment and a concurrent fine is to be given; where the consequences are especially serious, a sentence of 7 or more years imprisonment or indefinite imprisonment is to be given, and a concurrent fine or confiscation of property.
