2018 has arrived, I believe that a lot of dog babies are on their way!
In addition, the domestic two-child policy has gradually reached a climax, and has even been discussing when to let go of the third child!
Small pinch refers to a calculation, Australian cows or labor this year ah! This is not, the beginning of the New year, the supermarkets are in a hurry!
Not to mention, there is also the impact of the implementation of the new formula on January 1! Australian milk powder is already on the street!
But-
Couples who want a dog baby have to pay attention to stocking up more milk powder!
Milk powder under the new deal, Australian milk powder to be removed from the shelves?
On September 30, 2016, the State Administration of Food and Drug Administration of China issued a public notice on the implementation of the transitional period for the registration of infant formula milk powder products, announcing that:
Since January 1, 2018, infant formula powder produced in or exported to China must obtain a registration certificate in accordance with the law.
According to this provision, if the imported milk powder does not obtain the formula registration certificate before January 1, 2018, will sell to the last batch of milk powder shelf-life end! That's to sell one can and one less!
According to Ma Fuxiang, deputy director of the Department of Registration and Administration of Special Food and Drug Administration of the State Administration of Food and Drug Administration, as of December 27, 2017, the State Administration had accepted 1330 applications for formula for infant formula milk powder products, and 940 applications had been approved for registration. It contains 203 formulations from 35 overseas enterprises. However, these foreign brands of milk powder, in addition to A2 to obtain registration rights, the rest of us familiar with Bellamy, Australia love the United States, but Ruikang and other milk powder brands, have not yet appeared.
In the future, can't you see the sale of these milk powder in China? Although not as much as some media say Australia milk powder has been removed from the shelves, because the country has given another grace period.
Not long ago, a new rule gave everyone a sigh of relief, said the new rules, "overseas manufacturers before January 1 2018 infant formula powder, can be imported and sold until the end of the shelf life."
That is to say: foreign milk powder that has not yet obtained a certificate of registration of formula can not be exported to China after this limit, but now it can still be exported to China from milk powder already produced before that limit. Based on the usual three-year shelf life of canned infant milk powder, if no new supplementary policy is introduced in the future, it would theoretically mean a three-year extension.
However, some people in the industry believe that there should not really be a three-year grace period, the next year to continue to introduce new supplementary rules will be a high probability of events.
In other words, you can still hoard milk powder as soon as possible, but after that, if these companies do not have a formula registration certificate later, or if the Food and Drug Administration has introduced stricter policies, Then you will not be able to buy these milk powder in domestic shopping malls.
Even Nicholas Simms, chief executive of Bubs Australia, a milk powder company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange, said the number of foreign brands of infant milk powder in China could be cut off-"according to industry estimates," The number of baby formula brands will be reduced from about 2500 to about 300. "
However, because Australian-branded milk powder is of high quality, reputation and supervision, it is more likely to obtain a formula registration certificate from China's General Administration of Food and Drug Administration than milk powder from other countries.
In addition, 13 Australian milk powder factories have already been approved by the General Administration of Drug Administration, which means 39 milk powder brands can obtain formula registration certificates.
ViPlus Dairy, a private milk powder company from Victoria, was the first Australian milk powder producer to get approval from China's Food and Drug Administration to sell its products in China in early December.
A2 milk powder has also been announced on its own website that it has obtained a certificate of registration of the formula:
Bellamy, the largest milk powder company on the Australian Stock Exchange, said it hoped to obtain a formula registration certificate within six months, which is now their goal. Forecasts released by the company on the Australian Stock Exchange show they expect sales in the Chinese market to be "zero" in the second half of 2018.
So, if you want your dog baby to drink Australian milk powder from birth to age 3, you may have to look for more daigou.
Of course, there are also many people will say, milk powder is zero tariff, purchasing agents can stop food, right?!
There is no tariff on milk powder in China. Will the price be reduced?
On 1 December last year, China announced that the provisional tariff rate on the import of a variety of special formula milk powder had been reduced to zero. The news once made everyone sweat for the prospects of purchasing agents. However, judging from the comments of the vast number of netizens, the news actually had little impact. First, the proportion of these special formula in imported milk powder is very small, it is difficult to affect the pricing strategy of milk powder companies, and the second is that the price reduction is still more expensive than abroad:
Of course, the most important thing is the problem of counterfeit goods!
In fact, baby parents buy milk powder rarely care about the price, the key is to be safe, safety is the most important ah!
However, there are some unscrupulous merchants, a large number of recycled empty milk jar, but also special emphasis on domestic empty milk powder cans do not, must import milk powder cans!
After recycling, fill in fake milk powder and continue to sell it as a genuine product! Also said that he is "bonded zone straight hair", so the price is low, than the country of origin is lower.
In fact, just borrow the "bonded area" to wash it.
Too much counterfeiting, combined with a new deal that has made foreign milk powder increasingly difficult to sell at home, has left the Australian milk powder outage in 2018 unabated in the slightest sense.
It is getting harder and harder for purchasing agents to grab.
And in 2017, purchasing agents frequently occupied the headlines in Australia.
Not only has it been the target of public opinion, but officials have said that 1/4 of the milk powder has been bought by Chinese people, and that the goverment will launch an investigation to take more vigorous measures to protect the supply of milk powder to local babies.
There are also Australian pharmacies, in order to get local mothers to buy milk powder, milk powder is hidden.
The battle with Australian local buyers for milk powder is now increasingly difficult for agents to buy milk powder here. Limit purchase is inevitable: originally was limited to buy 4 cans per person, now directly halves, each person can only buy 2 cans at most!
Supermarket milk powder shelves in front of the notice has been posted, but also a large number of Chinese version!
According to the friends in front, this supermarket is not only limited to 2 cans, some also gave the milk powder lock! According to the development of this trend, will you still have to show me your identification when you buy a milk powder in the future?
What's more, the supermarket hides the milk powder cover in order to limit the purchase, and then gives you 2 covers after the bill is settled. In that case, you would not want to buy a few more cans, there is no cover.
Now, with the implementation of the New deal, more mothers who cannot buy milk powder at home will turn to Australia, and there will be greater demand. And since the national policy of fully opening up the second child in 2016, in the first eight months of 2017, the number of live births of hospitalized babies nationwide was 11.62 million, an increase of 2.4% over the same period last year, and continued to maintain the growth trend, of which 52% were "second children". The screen is full of baby who wants to eat milk.
It can only be said that there will be more and more milk babies in 2018, and fewer Australian milk powder will be available in the Chinese market, and more milk powder can be obtained by purchasing agents in Australia.
So, how to say, milk powder has a three-year shelf-life, can find a reliable channel, quickly hoarding it.
