The Chinese government has approved the final safety certificate for the importation of grain from Herculex RW. China is a very important market for grain derived from biotech crops.

In 2002, China issued new regulations requiring safety certificates for imported grain derived from crops improved through biotechnology. Dow/Pioneer submitted extensive safety information for Herculex RW. Grain handlers that import grain containing Herculex RW into China must have a copy of the China Safety Certificate for Herculex RW on hand.

Dow/Pioneer received a safety certificate for import of Herculex RW insect protection valid until December 20, 2012.
