Hey Yoyo,
In case you're still looking for answers I think you should go through the UK Food Standards Agency. There so many Import and Export restrictions you should know about such as the burn of:
Avian (bird) flu and imports
Calabash chalk
Jelly sweets
Kava kava
Products of animal origin from China
Red 2G food colouring
Spices and palm oils
Stevioside
Foodstuffs with current EU restrictions
Importing guar gum and food containing guar gum from India
Sunflower oil from Ukraine
Also as they If you are planning to import fresh fruit or vegetables you should apply for a 'Certificate of Conformity' under the PEACH system, which is run by the Horticultural Marketing Inspectorate at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA). The PEACH system can be accessed on the DEFRA website.

Does the Uk government have a set rules on the use of pesticide?
Our company had deal in exporting the frozen food and seafoods to China for many years.
If you came to the Chinese supermarket,you'll find many thing from the foreign countries,especially fruit, but the price is high with good quality.Otherwise different contries,different seasons, fruits.But seldom see the outside fresh vegetables,just had some frozen vegetable such as french fries,green pea etc. As we knew estimated only frozen green pea consumption volume per year is at leaast 100,000 M/T. But main importers are the world famous companies. They control the sources and market, many had set the sub-company in China.
As importing rule,only the designed sea ports allowed to enter the fruit, they are severe health inspection . The profit is good.
