Many thanks for your question – you will hopefully get an answer in a week or so.

Answer
Hello
Depending on what you want to stock – if there are any ingredients derived from animals eg milk (which may also be in cheese, yoghurt etc), fish, pork products, you will also need an ‘export health certificate’ signed by an official vet and issued by the UK Government. Some products are prohibited from entry to China.
