EN — How does an overseas maker register pet food for China? Under the Pet Feed Administrative Measures, importing complete pet feed (宠物配合饲料) or pet additive-premix (宠物添加剂预混合饲料) requires an import registration certificate (进口登记证). 境外宠物饲料生产企业向中国出口宠物配合饲料、宠物添加剂预混合饲料的，应当委托境外企业驻中国境内的办事机构或者中国境内代理机构向国务院农业行政主管部门申请登记，并依法取得进口登记证。 The foreign manufacturer must appoint its China-based office or a Chinese domestic agent (中国境内代理机构) to apply — direct filing by the foreign maker is not provided for.
Steps (from the Feed & Feed Additive Admin. Regulation, 2017 — derived, not substring-verified here): the agent submits product standards and supporting documents; the authority reviews within 10 working days of acceptance and sends samples to a designated institution for verification testing (复核检测); the certificate is issued after a satisfactory test and is valid 5 years (renew 6 months before expiry). Exported-to-China products must carry a Chinese label meeting the Pet Feed Labeling Rules, meet the Pet Feed Hygiene Rules, and use only ingredients/additives in the 《饲料原料目录》 and 《饲料添加剂品种目录》. Import without a certificate is prohibited.
Reference data (feed-china.cn analysis of MOA 2021–2025 registrations — derived): 2,564 imported pet-food registrations issued 2021–2025 across 22 countries/regions; 2025 top origins were 美国 / 新西兰 / 德国 / 意大利 / 加拿大.
