(2) Do not use aquatic animals that died from disease, aquatic animals culled for epidemic prevention and control, or aquatic animals of unknown cause of death.
(3) Contain no non-aquatic animal-derived components.

V. Production and Processing Requirements
(1) Undergo heat treatment at a core temperature not lower than 85ºC for a duration not less than 15 minutes, or other processing methods recognized as equivalent by the Chinese side.
(2) No addition during the production process of animal-derived components of unknown origin, non-aquatic animal-derived components, or prohibited substances whose use is forbidden by relevant Chinese and Spanish laws and regulations.
(3) Effective measures are taken during and after production to avoid contamination.

VI. Safety and Hygiene Requirements
(1) The product is permitted for free sale within Spain.
(2) The product does not contain toxic or harmful substances that endanger animal health and complies with China's feed safety and hygiene standards.
(3) For the export of aquatic animal protein and oils for feed use, such as fishmeal and fish oil, to China from countries or regions not recognized by the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) as having a negligible risk for Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), testing for ruminant-derived components must be conducted by laboratories recognized by the official competent authority using the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) method or other methods recognized by the Chinese side, and the result must be negative (the detection limit for ruminant animal DNA in the exported product is 0.1%).
(4) Before export, the product undergoes random sampling and testing by the official competent authority, and the results must meet the following requirements:
1. Salmonella: Not detected in 25g of product: n=5, c=0, m=0, M=0.

Where:
n = Number of samples tested.
m = Minimum value (threshold) for bacterial count; if bacterial counts in all samples do not exceed m, the result is acceptable.
M = Maximum value for bacterial count; if bacterial count in one or more samples is equal to or greater than M, the result is unacceptable.
c = Number of samples with bacterial counts between m and M; if bacterial counts in other samples are less than or equal to m, the result is still considered acceptable.

VII. Packaging, Labeling, and Storage/Transportation Requirements
(1) Packaging must be new, clean, with good sealing properties, and not easily damaged.
(2) A label shall be affixed to the outer packaging of the product. The label shall comply with relevant Chinese laws, regulations, and national standards for feed labeling and include warning phrases such as "Not for Human Consumption" or "For Feed Use Only".
(3) Effective measures must be taken during the storage and transportation processes to avoid contamination.

Verify whether the product originates from a registered enterprise.
Verify the authenticity and validity of the Sanitary Certificate.
(2) Goods Inspection.
China Customs shall conduct inspection and quarantine on products imported from Spain in accordance with relevant laws, administrative regulations, rules, and the requirements of this announcement. Products passing the inspection and quarantine are permitted entry.
(3) Handling of Non-compliance.
In any of the following circumstances, the goods shall be returned or destroyed: no valid Sanitary Certificate; originating from a non-registered Spanish production enterprise; inconsistency between goods and documents; discovery of soil, animal carcasses, animal excreta, quarantine pests where effective quarantine treatment is not possible; non-compliant labeling that cannot be corrected.
If testing reveals non-compliance with Chinese feed hygiene standards for safety and hygiene items, the goods shall be subject to treatment, return, or destruction.
For broken packages or containers, the owner or agent is responsible for repackaging to a sound condition. If broken packaging poses a risk of spreading animal or plant diseases, quarantine treatment must be applied to the contaminated sites, items, and utensils.
