China: China Removes Quarantine Access Requirements for Frozen Fruit Imports

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   CH2024-0119
China removed quarantine access requirements for frozen fruit imports in August 2024. This allows frozen fruit imports from any country, according to the updated imported food catalogue by the General Administration of Customs of China (GACC). The new policy is expected to facilitate the entry of additional U.S. frozen fruit products such as mixed frozen berries and frozen raspberries. U.S. exports were previously limited to frozen strawberries, cherries, blueberries, and cranberries. This will benefit all major frozen fruit producing countries, and in particular, lead to an increase in frozen durian imports.
