In modern international trade, technical barriers to trade protectionists frequently used means, in particular for developing countries are developed countries, the existence of technological advantages, developed countries can make use of this privileged position to protect its related industries. Technical Barriers to have its hidden nature, especially in food, livestock and poultry products, the developed countries more and more and more to security, hygiene, health, citing more and more high formulate technical regulations and standards, set up all sorts of technical trade measures.

     China's exports of food and other products usually by the importing country under various pretexts and closed customs, detain, return, destruction, or even a complete embargo. At present, the food labeling system has become our country food exports insurmountable technical barriers. Major countries food labeling system is as follows:
     EU
     In 2006, the European Union published on Food and Nutrition and Health Regulation No. 1924/2006 statement. The Ordinance was July 1, 2007 formally implemented, apply to the EU market for sale for human consumption any food or drinks. The new regulations aimed at ensuring that the food packaging to consumers provided by the nutritional information more accurate and reliable, in order to avoid misleading consumers.
     USA
     The United States Department of Agriculture for organic food labeling system provides: the extent of any organic reached or exceeded 95% of the food, can be affixed with a printed English word "organic" and "The United States Department of Agriculture" in the green circle markers. Organic extent at 70% ~ 95% of the food, should not paste special markings, but can be specified on the label on the product "contains organic ingredients." Whether or not foods have organic food add tag qualifications, subject to the approval of the United States Department of Agriculture certification of the specialized agencies.
     Russia
     Russian State Committee for Standardization to re-formulate and implement "TOCTP51014-2003 / food consumption indicate the general requirements," one of the relevant contents of the new food labeling standards, we must note in the consumer (food labeling) marked on the origin of the name and address of manufacturer, product name, product composition, capacity, food value, use and storage conditions, the application period, the storage period, production and packaging date code as well as important information, such as food ingredients, the consumer should be using the Russian label, ask the food and food additives name must be in line with the Russia National standards.
     The new labeling system for food export enterprises of China's main impact has two aspects:
     (1) new labeling system for the implementation of an increase of China's food export enterprises the cost of exports
To complete the composition of the new labeling requirements for detection, required companies to pay an extra fee Detected, but these new labeling requirements Detect demanding, difficult to improve the detection, which further increased the detection of costs, and increase China's food export enterprises the cost of exports.
     (2) the new tag system allows the export customs clearance inspection resulted in a lot of uncertainties
     For our country enterprises, not strictly because of domestic demands, enterprises rarely exposed to Detect Food and Nutrition program, and unfamiliar, and therefore the production of food labeling, when inefficient, and the quality is not high, coupled with the foreign requirements for the tag Strict, a short period of time to China's food export enterprises in full compliance with the requirements of the new labeling system must exist more difficult.
     Rare in our country because of the domestic authority of the nutrition labeling inspection agencies, so the production of our country or not qualified at the tag on to some extent depend on the importing country related to Detect Department, which will enable our country food enterprises in a very passive position. Imports of Congress in accordance with their own interests to consider, in the event of Chinese exports to the country's food is not conducive to the domestic industry when they can, through approval of the importing country at the time, looking for an excuse to refuse to endorse it for approval, which will allow enterprises in China's food exports to suffer huge losses.
     The new food labeling system for the implementation of, for our country's food export enterprises further increased access to international market risk and increase the cost of exports of enterprises. Because enterprises do not timely respond to the importing country has been caused by a variety of pretexts, customs, detain, return, destruction, food enterprises of our country caused great loss, but also on China's export of food caused a lot of adverse effects.
