In 2014, China will accept a one-page, consolidated wine export certificate from U.S. industry members exporting U.S. wine products to China. TTB published industry guidance for the new certificate in December 2013. |

Beginning March 1, 2014, the People's Republic of China (PRC) will accept a one-page Wine Export Certificate (consolidated certificate) from U.S. industry members for U.S. wine products exported from the United States.
This consolidated certificate is a multi-purpose document, which can be used as a certificate of origin, certificate of health/sanitation, and certificate of authenticity/free sale.
"For some time the PRC required U.S. wine exporters to file several certificates as a condition of entry," John Lom, TTB's International Affairs Division Director stated. "The one-page, consolidated certificate will replace the number of certificates that have to be filed currently to export wine to China."
