According to Article 6 of the Regulations for the Implementation of the Law of the People's Republic of China on Import and Export Commodity Inspection (2019 Revision), samples and gifts that enter and exit the territory, goods temporarily entering and exiting the territory and other non-trade articles may be exempted from inspection, unless otherwise specified by any law or administrative regulation. To declare the import of a small amount of food samples for domestic testing by advertising goods and sample trade (3010), can the imported sample food also exempt from inspection?

Food samples for R&D testing can be exempted from label inspection and sampling inspection. For foods of animal and plant origin that involve access requirements, access requirements should be met.
