​Establishment registration requirements:
  • It is the inspection and packing registered establishment's responsibility to ensure they are registered with the GACC prior to preparing or exporting peas to China. This registration is separate to the department's registration of export registered establishments.​
  • ​If a registered establishment is inspecting and packing peas to China for the first time, then contact must be made with the Grain and Seed Export Program (Grain.Export@aff.gov.au) so that the name and location of your business can be provided to GACC. GACC registered establishments are published on the GACC website.​

China food registration:

Effective from 1 January 2022, the General Administration of Customs of the People's Republic of China (GACC) implemented changes to registration and labelling requirements for food processing and storage facilities handling food exported to China.

For plant products, these requirements apply to edible grains, milled grain products, malt, fresh-kept/preserved and dehydrated vegetables, dry beans, nuts, seeds, dry fruits, unroasted coffee and cocoa beans.

These requirements do not apply to fresh fruit, unprocessed wheat and unprocessed barley.

Further information on the registration and labelling requirements can be found on the Micor Plants Documents page. 



Explanation of the endorsements:
  • ​Arabis mosaic virus, Southern Bean Mosaic Virus and Broad bean stain virus​ are not known to occur in Australia. No evidence is required to endorse freedom from these pests.​
  • Phytophthora root rot (Phytophthora megasperma) and Phytophthora root and stem rot (Phytophthora sojae) are not on the pea seed export pathway. Freedom from this pest may be endorsed without any supporting evidence.
  • Visual inspection by an Authorised Officer is sufficient for endorsing freedom from Bean weevils (Acanthoscelides obtectus and Callosobruchus analis), Sorghum (Sorghum almum), Johnson grass (Sorghum halepense) and Dodder (Cuscuta spp).
  • Phytophthora megasperma f. sp. glycinea is a synonym of Phytophthora sojae.​
​Where applicable, the exporter is to provide evidence attesting to the endorsement and present it to the Authorised Officer at the time of inspection.​
