China　has　strengthened　dairy　food　safety　management　with　both　industrial　and　trade　policies　since　the　melamine　incident　of　2008.　Sanitary　and　Phytosanitary　(SPS)　measures　constitute　the　majority　of　non-tariff　measures　(NTMs)　for　China＇s　dairy　imports.　Both　Trade　Restrictiveness　Indexes　(TRIs)　and　Overall　Trade　Restrictiveness　Indexes　(OTRIs)　pertaining　to　SPS　measures　are　greater　than　tariff　rates　for　China＇s　dairy　imports.　The　top　ten　countries　that　export　dairy　to　China　experienced　different　levels　of　market　access　barriers,　depending　on　whether　they　export　concentrated　milk　or　cream.　SPS　related　measures　are　essential　for　China　to　develop　a　safe　dairy　industry.　Supplying　China　with　safe　and　high　quality　dairy　goods　is　the　best　method　for　dairy　exporters　to　overcome　barriers　of　China＇s　SPS　measures.
