Overview
- Chinese customs authorities restored export approval on May 20 for three Brazilian plants after they had been suspended in March 2025 following video‑audits that found non‑conformities.
- The reauthorized units are Frisa (Nanuque, Minas Gerais), Bon‑Mart (Presidente Prudente, São Paulo) and JBS (Mozarlândia, Goiás), according to GACC listings and Brazilian officials.
- Separate reports on May 21–22 say China temporarily suspended three other Brazilian plants over alleged residue or hormone irregularities, and Brazilian authorities and exporters say those cases are under technical review.
- Brazil’s beef shipments to China jumped about 52% in January–April, an increase that pushed Brazil early into its tariff‑exempt quota and prompted Brazil and Australia to ask China for a larger quota or lower out‑of‑quota tariffs.
- Chinese and Brazilian officials credited sustained MAPA‑GACC technical dialogue for the recent steps and said electronic certification next month should speed checks and improve traceability for meat trade.
