China's customs authorities have suspended beef imports from seven suppliers in Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, and Mongolia as the country grapples with an oversupply that has driven domestic beef prices to multi-year lows.
The General Administration of Customs announced the suspension of import declarations for Argentine exporters Frigorífico Regional General Las Heras S.A. and Frio Dock S.A., along with Brazilian suppliers Frisa Frigorífico Rio Doce S/A, Bon-Mart Frigorifico Ltda, and JBS S/A. Uruguay’s Frigorífico Sirsil S.A. and a Mongolian supplier were also affected. The agency did not specify the reason for the suspensions.
JBS declined to comment, deferring to the Brazilian Association of Meat Exporting Industries (Abiec), which confirmed that the affected companies did not meet China's registration requirements for foreign establishments. Abiec stated it is in discussions with authorities to resolve the issue.
Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay are among China’s largest beef suppliers. The country imported a record 2.87 million metric tons of beef in 2024, prompting the Commerce Ministry to launch an investigation into surging imports. The influx of beef has raised concerns about potential trade restrictions that could impact major suppliers, including Australia and the United States.
With official investigation results expected later this year, industry players remain on alert for further regulatory actions that may reshape global beef trade.
