In accordance with the "Regulations of the People's Republic of China on the Administration of Import and Export of Goods" and other relevant regulations, and with reference to international market supply and demand and the implementation of export quotas in various regions, the Ministry of Commerce has formulated the "First Allocation Plan for Export Quotas of Some Agricultural Products in 2026" (see Annex), which is hereby issued, and the following matters are hereby notified: I. Local commerce departments should promptly conduct secondary allocation, verification, and feedback work on export quotas for live livestock and poultry and sawn timber supplied to Hong Kong and Macao. Quotas should be prioritized for allocation to enterprises with high completion rates, strong operational capabilities, good quality goods, and high brand reputation. They should coordinate with the actual export situation in their respective regions, leverage the guiding role of quotas, and reasonably control the pace of allocation. They should closely monitor the progress of quota usage, make dynamic adjustments to quotas, and improve quota utilization rates. The secondary allocation plan for quotas should be promptly submitted to the Ministry of Commerce (Foreign Trade Department) for record-keeping, and copies should be sent to the Quota and License Affairs Bureau of the Ministry of Commerce, the China International Electronic Commerce Center, and relevant export license issuing agencies. II. The commerce departments of Guangdong Province and Shenzhen Municipality are requested to notify relevant enterprises of the allocation of wheat flour export quotas to Hong Kong and Macao, and closely monitor and promptly report on the implementation of quotas and any existing problems. The wheat flour export quotas allocated to Hong Kong and Macao are limited to exports to the Hong Kong and Macao markets only, and enterprises are strictly prohibited from re-exporting to other countries and regions in any form. The relevant export license issuing agencies will add the note "Limited to export to Hong Kong, no re-export allowed" or "Limited to export to Macao, no re-export allowed" to the remarks column of the export license. Third, local commerce departments should strengthen the supervision and management of enterprise safety production and urge enterprises to fulfill their main responsibility for safety production. When allocating quotas for the second time, the safety production situation of enterprises must be reviewed and supervised. Enterprises that have had serious injuries or deaths in the past three years are not allowed to participate in quota allocation. For enterprises that have obtained wheat flour export quotas to Hong Kong and Macao, the relevant local commerce departments should conduct safety production supervision and management in accordance with the above requirements. Fourth, the Ministry of Commerce will conduct a second allocation by the end of June 2026, based on the quota completion status and applications from various localities (central enterprises).
