In recent years, with the continuous improvement of living standards and the reduction of family size, the number of pets in urban and rural residents in China has increased dramatically. According to statistics, as of 2015, the number of "registered" pet dog is about 4 million 250 thousand, the number of pet cat is about 2 million, and the annual growth rate of 30%. In the pet economy, pet food industry accounted for 40% share, according to the analysis report "shows 2015-2020 pet supplies and services industry market research and investment forecast prospective industry Research Institute released", China's current pet food reached 120 billion, domestic cat and dog food market mainly by the United States, Europe, Nestle Purina Mars the three known pet food pet food giant occupied, although some manufacturers have factories or agents in Chinese, but domestic and foreign products and spread superstition to the overseas product quality, more consumers to buy imported pet food.
Existing problems of imported pet food
Pre-approval of the higher threshold, leading to import. Because most are pet food products of animal origin, if from animal epidemic countries, is likely to carry people, animals or zoonotic diseases, leading to the proliferation of epidemic diseases in our country, there are strict regulatory procedures for the import of animal food. For example, foreign enterprises for the first time to China exports of pet food, to the Ministry of Agriculture shall apply for import registration by the Ministry of agriculture, examine the application materials for the inspection of the product, in order to obtain the import registration certificate "; secondly, the import of pet food overseas manufacturers need to register for the record in quality inspection administration, the owner also need to apply for animal and plant quarantine permit in the product entry, with the import permit and after inspection and quarantine inspection and quarantine agencies, can legally enter sales. Pre-approval time-consuming and tedious steps, before the entry, each basic specifications of the products usually takes about 1 years to complete. According to preliminary statistics, at present, the Ministry of agriculture, as well as the Ministry of agriculture import feed certificate and quality inspection administration of registration of the brand is only about 15, can not meet the needs of the domestic market.
The spread of illegal import channels, resulting in a series of risks. Due to the formal approval of the channel is more complex, some criminals choose to mail and other illegal transfer channels will import pet food into the domestic market sales. According to customs inspection and quarantine and data statistics, the annual total amount of non normal channels to enter the domestic market to more than 5 billion yuan, only in December 2014, Jiangmen Customs seized with pet food smuggling cases, involving up to 170 million yuan. According to the Hangzhou inspection and Quarantine Bureau of Zhejiang postal Inspection Office statistics show that only the first half of the Hangzhou mail processing center in the first half of this year, 710 kg of pet feed intercepted, respectively, from 7 countries and regions. Pet food smuggling is rampant, not only caused great losses to the national tax, and without quarantine of pet food sanitation, epidemic hidden great risk and risk of defective fake inflows.
Cross-border electricity suppliers policy is unknown, leading to wait and see. This year, cross-border electricity "4.8" new deal, has been included in the list of all positive pet food, cross-border e-commerce platform and the comprehensive test area and related enterprises of pet food imports desire is very strong, but the relevant departments of the country through the cross-border electricity supplier of imported pet food related policy is not clear, leading to the business platform and enterprise wandering in the crossroads of cross-border imports of pet food, stop. How to gather these platforms and enterprises, unified standardized management, the first through the cross-border electricity suppliers to channel the sun's import of pet feed into a comprehensive test area of cross-border e-commerce in Hangzhou to solve the problem.
Several suggestions
