Four Customs Notices in October 2026: Grain Self-Assessment, African Cocoa, Kyrgyz Berries and a Namibian Ban | 2026 年 10 月海关四份公告：粮食自评估、非洲可可豆、吉尔吉斯斯坦浆果与纳米比亚禁令
Overview
Four General Administration of Customs notices published between 13 and 20 October 2026 change what an importer of food and agricultural products may bring in, and how. Three widen or simplify access; one closes a market. They are best read together because the compliance path differs by category, and because one of them starts later than it is published.
Notice 146 of 13 October 2026, effective 15 November 2026, optimises supervision of enterprises processing imported grain. Notice 147 of 15 October 2026 sets phytosanitary requirements for cocoa beans from African countries. Notice 149 of 20 October 2026 opens the market for fresh berries from Kyrgyzstan. Notice 148, issued jointly with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs on 16 October 2026 and effective on publication, bans imports of cloven-hoofed animals and their products from Namibia. A fifth notice in the same cluster, No. 145 of 10 October 2026 on fresh watermelons from Uzbekistan, is noted only for the timeline.
Notice 146: approval becomes self-assessment
The change is procedural but large. Imported grain must be processed at a designated enterprise that has the epidemic-prevention and treatment conditions. An enterprise intending to process imported grain now assesses itself against the conditions published by the customs administration in its government service guide, then submits a declaration of conformity and supporting materials to the local customs office through the China International Trade Single Window or the customs government service platform. On approval it may begin operations. Prior approval is replaced by self-assessment, declaration and post-hoc quarantine supervision. Any change in the submitted information requires a variation application.
Three mechanics follow. When applying for the quarantine licence for imported animals and plants, the applicant must identify the designated enterprise to which the grain will be shipped and provide supporting evidence, and must enter the customs office at the designated enterprise’s location in the “accepting customs” field. Before applying, the applicant may request a preliminary contact sheet for imported grain from that customs office; holding one removes the need to supply the supporting evidence separately.
Responsibility is split by role: the site operator, the cargo owner or agent, the designated enterprise and the transport enterprise each carry the plant epidemic prevention duty for loading and unloading, transport, transhipment, processing and waste disposal respectively.
Seven categories of non-compliance trigger a rectification deadline: failure to carry out plant epidemic monitoring and eradication as required; failure to record receipt, unloading, transport, storage, processing, waste disposal and shipping destination; failure to process or store at the designated enterprise; failure to take leak-proof sealing measures; failure to carry out disinfection or processing treatment; failure to render waste and packaging material harmless; and refusal to accept customs quarantine supervision. For the fourth to seventh categories, quarantine approval applications for later shipments to that designated enterprise will not be granted until rectification is complete. Where an enterprise refuses to rectify, fails rectification or cannot rectify, grain not yet processed is disposed of as customs requires.
“Grain” follows the existing measures on inspection and quarantine supervision of imported and exported grain: the seeds of cereals, pulses and oil crops used for processing and not for propagation, and the tubers or root tubers of potatoes.
Notice 147: African cocoa under one regional protocol
The customs administration assessed that the pests and diseases affecting cocoa in Africa are similar and that control measures are broadly the same, and on that basis wrote a single set of import phytosanitary requirements. Cocoa beans originating in African countries with which China has diplomatic relations, and meeting the notice’s requirements, may be exported to China without a bilateral protocol negotiated and signed with each national competent authority.
The approach replaces country-by-country negotiation with a regional one for this commodity. It follows dried chillies, coffee beans, cashew nuts and wild aquatic products, and sits within the wider arrangement applying zero tariffs to 53 African countries with diplomatic relations, risk-graded quarantine access, and an upgraded green channel for African agri-food products.
For a buyer, the effect is on lead time rather than on the requirements. The phytosanitary conditions apply in full; what disappears is the wait for a country-specific protocol before a new origin can ship.
Notice 149: Kyrgyz berries
Fresh berries from Kyrgyzstan are permitted where they meet the requirements. The berries covered are raspberries, blackcurrants and blackberries.
Orchards and packing houses must be audited by the Kyrgyz side and registered with the Chinese side. China lists five quarantine pests of concern — one beetle, one bacterium, two fungi and one virus. Export-side work follows the international standards for phytosanitary measures: orchard monitoring and integrated pest management under ISPM 6, and a phytosanitary certificate under ISPM 12. On entry, the import quarantine licence and accompanying documents are checked.
Notice 148: Namibia and foot-and-mouth disease
Issued jointly with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and effective from the date of publication, the notice prohibits direct or indirect import of cloven-hoofed animals and their related products from the whole territory of Namibia. Sending them by post or carrying them in is also prohibited. Plant and animal waste and swill discharged from transport means are treated for pest control under customs supervision. Two earlier notices are repealed: No. 939 of 2007 of the former Ministry of Agriculture and No. 88 of 2014 of the former General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine.
Reading the four together
The four notices are three different instruments. Notice 146 is a facilitation: it moves a control from before the event to after it and shifts the burden of proof onto the enterprise’s own declaration. Notices 147 and 149 are access expansions, one by aggregating a continent into a single protocol and one by adding a country and three products. Notice 148 is a prohibition, and the only one that takes effect immediately.
The distinction matters for planning. A company that treats all four as new requirements will over-resource the first three and under-resource the fourth. A company that treats them as market news will miss 15 November, the only future date in the set and the only one that changes an internal process rather than an external permission.
Implications for foreign companies
For a grain processor, the work between now and 15 November is a self-assessment file: the published conditions, a gap analysis, the declaration of conformity, and supporting evidence for the designated enterprise named in each licence application. The seven rectification categories work as a checklist in reverse — each names a record or a measure an inspector will ask for, and the last four carry the extra consequence of blocking approvals for later shipments to the same site.
For a food importer, notices 147 and 149 change the origin list rather than the documentation. Cocoa from an African country with diplomatic relations can now be sourced without waiting for a protocol; Kyrgyz berries can be added where a supplier has registered orchards and packing houses. In both cases the phytosanitary certificate and, for berries, the import quarantine licence remain the operative documents.
For a company with Namibian exposure, notice 148 requires an immediate check of open purchase orders: the ban is territorial and immediate.

2026 年 10 月海关四份公告：粮食自评估、非洲可可豆、吉尔吉斯斯坦浆果与纳米比亚禁令
概述
2026 年 10 月 13 日至 20 日，海关总署集中发布四份公告，改变了食品与农产品进口企业对”能进什么、怎么进”的答案。其中三份扩大或简化准入，一份关闭市场。四份合起来读更有价值：合规路径按品类分野，且其中一份的施行日期晚于发布日期。
第 146 号公告于 10 月 13 日发布、11 月 15 日起实施，优化进境粮食企业监管措施。第 147 号公告于 10 月 15 日发布，规定进口非洲国家可可豆的植物检疫要求。第 149 号公告于 10 月 20 日发布，开放吉尔吉斯共和国鲜食浆果。第 148 号公告由海关总署与农业农村部于 10 月 16 日联合发布、自发布之日起实施，禁止从纳米比亚输入偶蹄动物及其相关产品。同一批次中另有 10 月 10 日落款的第 145 号公告（乌兹别克斯坦鲜食西瓜），此处仅在时间线上提及。
第 146 号公告：审批改为自评估
这一变化属程序性，但幅度不小。进境粮食应在具备防疫、处理等条件的指定加工企业加工使用。拟从事进境粮食加工的企业，对照海关总署在政务服务指南公布的防疫、处理等条件自评估，再通过国际贸易”单一窗口”或海关政务服务平台向所在地海关提交符合性声明及材料，审核通过即可开展业务。事前审批由此转为自评估、声明加事后检疫监督。已提交信息发生变化的，须提交变更申请。
随之而来的是三项操作细节。申请《进境动植物检疫许可证》时，须确定拟运往的指定企业并提供证明材料，”受理海关”栏填写指定企业所在地海关。申请之前，可向该海关申请《进境粮食初审联系单》；提供该联系单，即可免于提供上述证明材料。
责任按角色切分：场地经营企业、货主或代理人、指定企业、运输企业，分别承担装卸、运输、换装、加工、下脚料处理各环节的植物疫情防控责任。
七类违规情形限期整改：未按规定实施植物疫情监测及防除；未按规定记录接卸、运输、存放、加工、下脚料处理、发运流向；未按规定在指定企业加工存放；未按规定采取防撒漏密封措施；未按规定除害或加工处理；未按规定对下脚料、包装材料无害化处理；拒绝接受海关检疫监督。其中第（四）（五）（六）（七）类情形，在整改完成前，对后续拟运往该指定企业的检疫审批申请不予许可。拒不整改、整改不通过或无法整改的，尚未加工处理的粮食按海关要求妥善处置。
“粮食”的范围沿用《进出境粮食检验检疫监督管理办法》，指用于加工、非繁殖用途的禾谷类、豆类、油料类等作物的籽实以及薯类的块根或块茎。
第 147 号公告：非洲可可豆的区域一体化准入
海关总署经风险评估认为，非洲地区可可豆有关病虫害发生情况相近、防控措施基本相同，据此制定了统一的进境植物检疫要求。产自非洲建交国家、符合公告要求的可可豆均可输华，无需再与相关国家主管部门逐一磋商签署准入协议。
这一做法把逐国磋商改为区域一体化安排。在此之前，干辣椒、咖啡豆、腰果、野生水产品已走过同类路径；其背景是对 53 个非洲建交国全面实施零关税、对检疫准入实行风险分级管理，以及升级非洲农食产品输华”绿色通道”。
对采购方而言，改变的是时间而不是要求。植物检疫条件仍须全部满足，消失的是”等一份国别议定书”才能发货的那段等待。
第 149 号公告：吉尔吉斯斯坦浆果
允许符合要求的吉尔吉斯共和国鲜食浆果进口，浆果包括树莓、黑醋栗与黑莓。
果园与包装厂须经吉方审核并由中方批准注册。中方关注的检疫性有害生物共 5 种，分别为绵毛小花甲、梨火疫病菌、醋栗单囊白粉菌、烟草环斑病毒、大丽花轮枝孢。出口环节按国际植物检疫措施标准第 6 号实施果园监测与有害生物综合管理，按第 12 号出具植物检疫证书。进境时核查《进境动植物检疫许可证》等单证。
第 148 号公告：纳米比亚与口蹄疫
该公告由海关总署与农业农村部联合发布，自发布之日起实施，禁止直接或间接从纳米比亚全境输入偶蹄动物及其相关产品；禁止寄递或携带入境。运输工具卸下的动植物性废弃物、泔水，在海关监督下作除害处理。同步废止原农业部、原质检总局 2007 年第 939 号公告与 2014 年第 88 号公告。
四份公告合起来看
四份公告属于三类不同工具。第 146 号是便利化：把管制从事前移到事后，并把举证责任转移到企业自己的声明上。第 147 号与第 149 号是准入扩大，前者把一个大陆聚合成一份议定书，后者增加一个国家与三个品种。第 148 号是禁止，也是四份之中唯一即时生效的一份。
这一区分对规划很关键。把四份都当成”新增合规要求”的企业，会在前三份上投入过多、在第四份上投入不足；把四份都当成市场新闻的企业，则会错过 11 月 15 日这个唯一面向未来的节点——它也是四份之中唯一改变内部流程而非外部许可的节点。
对外资企业的实务意义
对粮食加工企业，从现在到 11 月 15 日的工作是一份自评估档案：公布的条件、差距分析、符合性声明，以及每一份检疫审批申请中指定企业对应的证明材料。七类整改情形可以反过来当作检查清单——每一类都指向稽查人员会索要的一份记录或一项措施，而第（四）至（七）类还附加了”阻断同一场地后续到货审批”的后果。
对食品进口企业，第 147 号与第 149 号改变的是产地清单，而不是单证要求。非洲建交国家的可可豆不必等议定书即可采购；吉尔吉斯斯坦浆果可在供应商完成果园与包装厂注册后纳入。两种情形下，植物检疫证书仍是要件，浆果另需《进境动植物检疫许可证》。
对涉及纳米比亚业务的企业，第 148 号要求立即排查在途与未执行的采购订单，因为禁令按地域适用且自发布之日起生效。
