It added the food exporters that haven’t applied for licenses can submit applications to competent agencies of China or via the websites http://cifer.singlewindow.vn/ and http://singlewindow.cn/.

From January 1, 2022, foreign businesses producing food for export to China will have to print the commodity codes granted by China Customs or authorized agencies of Vietnam both inside and on the product packages.

SPS Vietnam recommended enterprises stay updated with information about the codes so as not to affect the shipment to China.

Vietnam exported over 50.16 billion USD worth of goods to China between January and November, up 16.1 percent from a year earlier, according to the General Department of Vietnam Customs.

By the end of November, China was the second largest destination of Vietnamese commodities, following the U.S. It also ranked second among importers of agro-forestry-fishery products from Vietnam, with import turnover of 8.4 billion USD during the period.
