BEFORE FIRST SHIPMENT
Overseas food manufacturers register with GACC. The registration number goes on every pack.

Chinese buyers can’t clear your goods until your facility is registered with GACC

Some products are registered through your national authority, others directly. Passmark keeps the number, its expiry and your label proof together.
