Q
My company encountered a system prompt during customs declaration that the registration information of the overseas aquatic product manufacturer was inconsistent and the order was refunded. What should I do?
Generally, the registration information of overseas production enterprises is inconsistent in the following situations:

The scope of registration of an overseas registered enterprise is inconsistent with the actual declared import of aquatic products. For example, the scope of registration is only fish products, but shrimp is imported, or only wild aquatic products are registered but aquaculture aquatic products are actually imported.

If the validity period of the enterprise registration is inconsistent, the importer should confirm that the production date of the batch of products and the date of departure from overseas meet the requirements of the 'Regulations on the Administration of Registration of Overseas Manufacturers of Imported Food', and submit relevant certification materials to the customs. After meeting the requirements, the control will be released.
