On March 4, 2025, China’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (MARA) released an Announcement soliciting public comments on the updated Feed Ingredients Catalog. The feed catalogs in China include all feed materials that can be produced and sold in China with definitions, quality, and label requirements. Exporters intending to export feed products to China must ensure their ingredients are approved for use in either Feed Ingredients Catalog or Feed Additives Catalog.
This updated catalog includes additions of “quality” specifications and “label requirements” for new feed ingredients under varieties of categories, definitions for fermented feeds, and new varieties in the single-ingredient feed category that require registration with MARA prior to facility registration with the General Administration of Customs of China (GACC).
Written comments can be sent to MARA via email. Major additions and revisions since the previous feed catalog are marked in blue in the unofficial translation by USDA. Stakeholders should conduct their own review of the catalog. At the time of the publication of this report, China has not notified the catalog to the WTO.
