When importing in the form of ordinary food, attention should be paid to the compliance of the formula, and it is generally necessary to modify the formula to ensure that the product meets the corresponding standar.
Import of overseas health food in the form of cross-border e-commerce trade

Consumers can view the Chinese electronic labels of the products through the websi.
Enterprises can directly use products legally sold overseas for cross-border e-commerce imports, without the need for time-consuming, labor-intensive and costly work such as formula changes and label chang.

Products imported in the form of health food can be sold not only online and in general offline channels, but also in pharmacies, which is more in line with the consumption habits of middle-aged and elderly peop.
However, because China's health food regulations are not yet perfect, there are few types of imported health food that can be done at present, and it is difficu.
Currently, only import filing is more feasib.
