The global pet market has surpassed $200 billion, and China is one of the world's largest pet product manufacturers. Exporting to different markets means navigating vastly different regulations — Japan and Europe/the US are particularly demanding. Japan requires JIS standards, Food Sanitation Act compliance, and PSE marking for electric products. Europe/US requires CE marking, REACH regulation, EN 71 toy safety standards, while North America also requires CPSC testing and FDA approval.
High-certainty product categories include pet beds (cotton/fleece, no chemical coatings), fabric/rubber pet toys (Yiwu has numerous factories with established EU/US export experience), and pet cleaning supplies (EN 71 or CE compliant). Categories requiring caution include pet food (formulation regulations vary dramatically by country) and electric pet products (require target market electrical safety certifications). We recommend selecting factories with proven export experience to your target market and requesting third-party test reports.
Inspection is an essential safeguard for pet product exports: AQL 1.0 for Japan (near-zero defect tolerance), AQL 2.5 for Europe/US. For first-time suppliers, pre-shipment inspection is strongly recommended. CHUNGDE has extensive experience in pet product sourcing, with deep familiarity with Japan JIS standards and EU/US REACH/CE certification requirements — one-stop service from factory matching, sampling, inspection to logistics.
