In recent years, imported food and agricultural product volume has increased rapidly. The average annual growth rate of the past decade has reached 17.4%. By 2014, the total trade volume of imported and exported food and agricultural product volume has reached 192.8 billion dollars. The trade volume of imported food and agricultural products is 121.5 billion dollars and the deficit is 50 billion dollars. The supervision responsibility of imported food safety has become more and more important.
In accordance with the principle of “Prevention first, risk management, whole process control, and global shared governance”, the AQSIQ established a whole process supervision system that complies with international conventions covering 3 segments of “Pre-entry, during entry, and post-entry”.
First, perform strict source supervision in pre-entry.
Second, perform strict inspection and quarantine during the entry.
Finally, improve follow-up supervision after the entry.
The imported food safety is guaranteed by the establishing of the whole process supervision system covering 3 segments of “Pre-entry, during entry, and post-entry”.
