Cell import | JCRB monkey cell import example

When people think of the well-known Japanese cell bank JCRB, they often think of the human cell lines and mouse cell lines that have been cultured. However, in the JCRB cell bank, there is also a less common monkey cell line, which is of great significance to research. However, due to the complicated qualifications and certificate requirements for Japanese shippers and Chinese consignees in the import and export process, many users with needs are often told that they cannot import.

In fact, this type of JCRB monkey-derived cells can be imported legally.

Typical problems encountered during import are as follows:

1. I don’t know what regulatory documents I need to submit to the Chinese Customs.

2. The information in the certificate does not meet the customs requirements, resulting in the need to change the certificate.

3. Failure to apply for administrative license from other relevant departments in a timely manner.

With many years of experience in the cross-border field of biological products and a deep understanding of relevant processes and regulations, our company has successfully solved the above-mentioned import channel problems. 

The monkey cell lines commonly used in scientific research include: rhesus monkey, crab-eating monkey, and African green monkey.

All primate species (PRIMATES spp.) and their products are regulated by CITES. In international trade, buyers and sellers are supervised by CITES and local government departments. Due to the complicated import procedures and relatively long cycle, it has always been a challenge for importers.

It’s not that such cell lines cannot be imported; it’s just that they require a high level of business experience in cross-border compliance.

Through accurate reading of policies and regulations and years of experience in importing biological products, our company Chengtian Biology has successfully opened up the import channel for African green monkey cell lines. Due to years of efficient and compliant cooperation with JCRB and professional ability to solve difficult and complicated problems, JCRB Cell Bank also recommends our cross-border services to Chinese scientific research users.

In the future, teachers who are interested in Japanese JCRB cells and Riken cells can call or send private messages to communicate about the specific import ordering process.

If you need to order and import cell line products of other brands across borders, you are also welcome to inquire!
