2. The transition period of FSMP registration is extended

On November 22, 2017, CFDA issued a notice to adjust the transitional period of FSMP registration. The main arrangements are as follows:

I. Since January 1 2019, all FSMP products produced in China or imported to China shall get the FSMP registration certificate under CFDA, and indicate the registration number on the label and instruction.

II. If the production dates of the domestic or imported FSMP products are before December 31, 2018, the products can be sold in China until the end of expiration date.

Previously, the transition period is the end of 2017. But now, it is extended for one year, which give relevant enterprises more time to apply for the FSMP registration.
