After evaluation and review, if it is deemed that the change does not involve the food safety and sanitation management control of the overseas enterprise (such as the change of the enterprise name, etc.), and it is confirmed to meet the requirements of the change, the application for change shall be granted; after the evaluation and review, if it is deemed that the relevant change and adjustment may affect the food safety and sanitation management control of the overseas enterprise, the application for change shall be refused and the competent authority of the country (region) where it is located or the overseas production enterprise of imported food shall be notified to submit a new registration application in accordance with the application channel.

The change in the office of the management personnel does not belong to the relocation of the production site. The change of legal representative refers to a change in the actual owner of an overseas enterprise. If the actual owner of the overseas enterprise remains unchanged, the personnel who perform the management of the enterprise’s production site (plant area) on behalf of the actual owner changes, the production enterprise can apply for the change first, and the General Administration of Customs will assess the actual impact of the corresponding change on the enterprise’s food safety and sanitation management control, and then decide whether to grant the application for change.
