Today, I want to share with you the information about what certificates are needed to open a store on Taobao, as well as the specific requirements for applying for these certificates. If you want to open a food store on Taobao, you can take a look. After all, after reading it, you will understand how to apply for it.

1. What certificates are required for food

It is reported that an e-commerce platform (Taobao) has taken action recently, requiring sellers to provide a complete set of three certificates (store owner, business license and food circulation license) and apply for access according to the business scope on the business license.

If the seller still fails to apply for access before the end of September, it will be forced to be removed from the shelves. Merchants selling food products need to provide the following additional documents:

1. A copy of the "Food Hygiene License" or "Food Circulation License" held by the merchant; if it is a food manufacturer, a copy of the "Food Production License" is required;

2. A quality guarantee issued by the merchant;

If it is imported food, a certificate of entry-exit inspection and quarantine, a copy of the "Health Certificate" and a customs declaration are also required;

If it is alcohol sales, a copy of the "Alcohol Retail License" or "Alcohol Circulation Registration Form" is also required; if it is vegetables, fruits or fresh products, a copy of the certificate of origin and a copy of the health quarantine certificate are also required;

Note: If your company applies to open a food flagship store, but is not a food manufacturer, then please provide a commissioned processing contract and the actual manufacturer's food production license.

Unlike food, if the merchant applying to open a store is not a manufacturer of health products, it is still necessary to provide relevant qualification certification documents of the health product manufacturer; the inspection and quarantine report requirements are also required for all brands to be operated, and at least one relevant certification document for each single product must be provided under each brand;

If it is a OEM health food, a commissioned processing contract signed by the manufacturer and the merchant must be provided, and the health product manufacturer must clearly authorize OEM

2. How to apply for a business license

The food circulation license is now called the food business license. It is a certificate, but the conditions for handling and the scope of use of the license are different depending on the business scope. Food business licenses are divided into: pre-packaged, dairy products, beef and mutton, and pig products. Multiple business items can be handled in one license. Taobao generally requires a pre-packaged business license.

1. Have food sales and storage places that are suitable for the variety and quantity of food being operated, keep the environment of the place clean and tidy, and keep the prescribed distance from toxic and harmful places and other pollution sources;

2. Have business equipment or facilities that are suitable for the variety and quantity of food being operated, and have corresponding equipment or facilities for disinfection, changing clothes, washing, lighting, fly prevention, rat prevention, lighting, ventilation, anti-corrosion, dust prevention, insect prevention, washing, and treatment of wastewater, storage of garbage and waste;

3. Have full-time or part-time food safety management personnel and rules and regulations to ensure food safety; other conditions stipulated by laws and regulations.

In fact, in the actual handling process, it can be said that there is only one requirement, that is, there must be an actual site, which must be commercial in nature, with an area of ​​more than 30 square meters, and there are supermarket-like shelves inside, and this address is used as the company's registered address and the address of the food business license.

Well, actually, it is not that troublesome to open a store on Taobao. Just follow the system prompts. There is nothing to worry about. If you sell food, safety and quality inspection is definitely one of the key points. If you sell food, a food business license is definitely required.
