Generally, goods imported by trade need to be labeled in Chinese. Basically, there are two situations as follows:

1. Foreign factories can affix Chinese labels during production, so after the labels are designed in China, foreign factories can directly affix them to the outer packaging when producing products. This is the easiest way for importers, because the goods can be cleared directly at the port after they arrive at the domestic port, and can be transported to their own warehouses after the customs clearance is completed.

2. Foreign factories can't attach Chinese labels. In this case, it is necessary to attach Chinese labels in domestic bonded warehouses after the goods arrive at domestic ports and are declared to enter the country. In contrast, the timeliness and cost will be slightly higher. You need to stick a Chinese label in the bonded warehouse, and you can leave the bonded area after the customs declaration is completed, and then transport it to your own warehouse.

There is also a special case for imported infant milk powder, which requires that Chinese labels be printed directly on the cans when they are produced abroad, so this is why the cans of infant milk powder imported by general trade are all in Chinese.
