CHINA 'S COVID -19 RELATED TRADE ACTIONS  
AGAINST FOOD AND AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS –  
NEW SPECIFIC TRADE CONCERN  
SUBMISSION  BY THE UNITED STATES  OF AMERICA  
The following document , received on 13 November  2020, is being circulated at the request of the 
Delegation of the United Sta tes of America . 
 
_______________  
 
 
1.1.  The United States understands the concerns of consumers around the world who want food 
producers, processors, and regulators to act to reduce the spread of COVID -19. We all must work 
together to clearly and effectively communicate to consumers the safety of food and agricultural 
products.  
1.2.  We are concerned by several measures China has taken since June, including requiring exporter 
stateme nts, suspension of imports from facilities where local media report worker cases of 
COVID -19, testing requirements for imported foods, and port -of-entry rejections of imported 
products when positive nucleic acid test results are reported.  
1.3.  We remain concern ed that China has not provided the science -based justification to support 
the need for, or efficacy of, these measures. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United 
Nations (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) document titled "COVID -19 and Food 
Safety: Guidance for Food Businesses ", cited by China as the basis for its actions, states clearly that 
there "is no evidence to date of viruses that cause respiratory illnesses being transmitted via food 
or food packaging ". 
1.4.  Members are experiencing a n increasing number of COVID -19 related restrictions to export a 
variety of food and agricultural commodities to China.  We are concerned with this development and 
the possibility that other trading partners may begin to emulate these measures, again, in th e 
absence of scientific justification.  
1.5.  Unjustified trade restrictions adopted during the COVID -19 pandemic threaten the integrity of 
global food supply chains at a time when many WTO Members are already struggling to maintain 
food security. Through its most recent notification, G/SPS/N/CHN/1173 , China indicated that i t is 
implementing its measures on an emergency basis. In order to main tain this measure, China must 
seek to obtain enough evidence to do so.  
1.6.  As Members of the WTO, we encourage China to withdraw these measures and work with its 
global partners to support t he guidance of international organizations by building the body of 
scientific evidence on COVID -19. Collaborative engagement is essential as we collectively work to 
navigate this crisis, avoid unnecessary barriers to trade on food and agricultural products , and 
maintain food security for all.
