China Certification & Inspection Company

What China Certification & Inspection Company does

China Certification & Inspection Group (CCIC) is a State Council–authorized, AQSIQ-accredited transnational inspection, certification and traceability organization functioning as the Chinese government's authorized overseas representative for verifying and certifying imported goods. Headquartered in Beijing with regional operations including CCIC Australia Pty Ltd in Sydney and a New Zealand laboratory subsidiary, CCIC explicitly positions itself as the only AQSIQ-authorized overseas certification body in Australia, a designation reiterated publicly by AQSIQ Vice Minister Mei Kebao in 2014.\n\nThe service portfolio is organized into three lines: (i) pre-shipment inspection (PSI) covering iron ore, coal, grains, dairy, foodstuff, recycling scraps, and used machinery; (ii) certification services including HACCP, ISO9001, organic production, China Compulsory Certification (CCC), and CFDA registration advisory; and (iii) the proprietary CCIC Origin Traceability System, which issues coded labels and integrates with Chinese CIQ (Inspection and Quarantine) offices, enabling consumer-facing QR-code verification of product origin, production date, packaging and certification status. A notable extension — the Pingtan Cross-border E-commerce Traceability System, launched in cooperation with Pingtan CIQ in August 2016 — extends these capabilities into cross-border e-commerce flows, with the first consignment being Australian infant formula. The underlying capability stack is built on field-inspection teams operating in origin countries (predominantly Australia and New Zealand) and direct technical integration with AQSIQ, CNCA, CNAS, and CIQ systems.\n\nRevenue is generated through quotation-based professional service fees under multi-year contracts, with services priced per inspection, audit, or certification scope and no public rate card. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales: surveyors and certified auditors conduct on-site inspections at client facilities in origin countries, with results transmitted to Chinese authorities to enable 'green channel' customs clearance and save approximately two days in logistics time per shipment. Named enterprise customers span dairy (Viplus Dairy, Van Dairy / Van Diemen's Land Farms), health products (Blackmores), organic protein (Conway Country Corp), cosmetics (GM Cosmetics), and grain trade (Grain Trade Australia member network), with marketing executed via trade conferences (AGIC, ACBC summits, China-ASEAN Expo), chamber of commerce positioning (Australia China Chamber of Commerce) and government trade forums (Hunan Trade Matchmaking Conference).
