Can I get a health certificate one month in advance?

Legal analysis: Yes. If the health certificate needs to be reapplied upon expiration, you can apply in advance. Re-applying for a health certificate requires a re-examination as before, and the cost is the same as before. If all items in the physical examination are normal, you can apply for a health certificate, which is also valid for one year.

Legal basis: Article 45 of the Food Safety Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), food producers and business operators shall establish and implement the health management system for employees. Persons suffering from diseases that hinder food safety as stipulated by the administrative department of health of the State Council shall not engage in direct contact with imported food. Food production and marketing personnel engaged in direct contact with imported food shall undergo annual health examination and obtain health certificates before taking up their posts.
