Ann: Lanzhou Trading Agreement, page-61

Another thing I have noticed in regard to this meat deal is that on the JAT website this is stated.

"CIQ clearance is required to sell through Chinese shops and supermarkets. The process has been known to take anywhere from 2 to 24 months and require significant financial investment. JAT has its own CIQ number to bring in product from Australia to China and has obtained CIQ approvals for health care products; infant formulas and milks powders; and packaged fish, sheep and beef products."

Jatcorp does not need to use a Chinese Import Agent and can log on directly and handle its own import and export commodities inspection procedures.  

Perhaps more Health Care and Packaged Fish are on the future export to China agenda. Maybe some frozen lobster or farmed Barramundi is next.
