Manufacturing Licenses & Certifications Buyers Can Verify

Supplier qualification should verify the certificate holder, manufacturing site, number, validity, scope and issuing body. The documents below cover the main manufacturing, food-safety and management-system credentials supporting the production facility.

Food Production and Pharmaceutical Manufacturing — Different Scopes

Food products and TCM decoction pieces fall under different manufacturing authorizations and quality requirements. Buyers should review the license that applies to the specific product they intend to purchase rather than treating “GMP” as one universal certificate.

Relevant licensed categories include plant beverages and substitute teas. Food production is managed under the applicable Chinese food-safety requirements, including relevant GB 14881 requirements.

Relevant for: herbal tea bags, tea-in-cup and applicable beverage projects within the licensed scope.

NMPA Drug Manufacturing License

License No. 甘20160045

The licensed scope covers TCM decoction pieces. Pharmaceutical manufacturing follows the applicable drug-manufacturing and GMP requirements for the authorized production scope.

Different product categories require different manufacturing authorizations. The applicable license should be confirmed according to the product being sourced.

Factory Verification & Document Review

Buyers carrying out supplier qualification can review available certificate copies, facility information and supporting quality documents. Live video review, third-party inspection or an on-site visit can be discussed according to the project stage, inspection scope and access requirements.

GMP Certified Chinese Herb Supplier — Frequently Asked Questions

What does FDA food facility registration mean for a Chinese herb supplier?

It means the supporting food-production facility is registered with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as required for the applicable food-facility activity. FDA registration does not mean FDA approval, certification or endorsement of the facility’s products.

What is the difference between the Food Production License and Drug Manufacturing License?

The China Food Production License applies to the food-product categories stated in its scope, while the NMPA Drug Manufacturing License applies to authorized pharmaceutical manufacturing such as TCM decoction pieces. Buyers should review the license that corresponds to the actual product being purchased.

What certifications should a Chinese herb supplier have for export?

Required licenses, certifications and documents depend on the product, destination market and buyer qualification procedure. Buyers commonly review the applicable manufacturing license, HACCP or quality-system certificates, facility registration where relevant, and batch-specific quality documents.

Can you provide the certificates for our supplier file?

Yes. Available supplier-qualification documents can include current license and certificate copies, certificate numbers, issuing bodies, scope and validity information. Batch-specific quality documents are reviewed separately according to the product and order scope.

How do I verify a GMP certified Chinese herb supplier?

Verify the certificate or license holder, manufacturing site, number, issuing body, validity and product scope. Then separately review batch-specific quality evidence such as the COA and required testing records for the product you intend to purchase.
