Importing and exporting agro-products in the China market, mainly including vegetables, fruits and grains, have faced pesticide MRL compliance issues in recent years. This speech will concentrate on the practices in pesticide residue testing, violation of MRLs, and pesticide uses in open-field/greenhouse/post-harvest guidance etc. In China, major field sites (some of them are involved and guided/co-operated by foreign companies) of producing exporting agro-products are registered or managed officially, in order to meet the requirements of importing countries.  The main reasons of MRL violation cases of exporting/importing will be analyzed. Some GAP differences will be compared, along with the analysis on the MRL harmonization problems, minor crop and minor use or specialty crop, importing MRL establishment, uncertainty in importing/exporting laboratories etc.  Data requirements of pesticide registration, agro-products trading and sampling/testing criteria will also be discussed.
