exporters/manufacturers: "We already have GACC registration number; but
when the goods arrived Chinese port for customs clearance , they
were rejected. The China Customs officer said that our GACC
registration number was incorrect. What's wrong with our GACC

The main reason for these problems is that overseas exporters /
manufacturers don't know Different food categories need to apply
for different types of GACC registration.
Some manufacturers even use the voided GACC registration number (formerly AQSIQ registration number) to apply for China Customs clearance,of course it will be rejected;
