China Sets Inspection and Quarantine Requirements for Animal Protein Feed Imports from Spain

In late April 2026, China’s General Administration of Customs issued Announcement No. 51 of 2026 on the inspection, quarantine, and hygiene requirements for animal protein feed imported from Spain. According to the announcement, Spanish animal protein feed products that meet the stated requirements may be imported into China after passing customs inspection and quarantine procedures.

The announcement provides the regulatory basis for eligible Spanish animal protein feed products to enter the Chinese market, while also emphasizing compliance with China’s quarantine, hygiene, and safety control requirements. For feed ingredient traders and animal nutrition companies, the update reflects China’s continued effort to expand approved feed ingredient sources under controlled inspection standards.

For the feed industry, this type of market-access update is important because animal protein ingredients are closely linked to formulation flexibility, raw material diversification, and supply-chain resilience.
