for Judy: China implements a quarantine access system on imported food. Only those foodstuffs that meet reqauirements can enter China. Before an imported food operator or its agent imports any food products, an application should be made to the designated inspection and quarantine authorities for food label examination and approval. When the food product is imported, the imported and Expored Food Label Approval Certificate will be presented to the entry-exit inspection and quarantine authorities to apply for inspection and quarantine. Customs will, based on the Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Health Certificate issuyed by the entry-exit inspection and quarantine aujthorities, release the goods.

for Rick_Zai: China import duty of edible birds nest classified under HS 04100010 has been eliminated for imports from most members of the ASEAN including the mentioned countries under the auspice of the China and ASEAN Free Trade Agreement. In order for the shipment of birdsnest to enter China mainland duty free valid Country of Origin Certificate fulfilling the origin criteria must be provided. The VAT 17% will remain to be applied.

for nehemaiah requirme: We believe export of birds nest from the Philippines to China requires health certificate issued by the competent authority of the Philippines e.g. National Food Authority of the Philippines Please visit their website for more details..

for Juan: We are not too sure which organizations whether Government or related trade institutions are authoorized to issue certificate of origin for birds nest. Please contact the Philippines Department of Trade and Industry and inquire.
