On August 17, 2015, China's General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) announced that starting October 1, 2015, AQSIQ would conduct an electronic upgrade to its registration filing management system adopted in October 2012. Information requirements and product coverage remain the same as in 2012. Fresh fruit continues to be exempted from this requirement. Chinese importers and foreign exporters can log into the system at the following website http://ire.eciq.cn and verify that their registration information has successfully made the transition on to the upgraded system. This report contains an unofficial translation of the public notice, and links to 2012 GAIN report outlining the information requirements and Frequently Asked Questions.
