China is a country where business partners play important roles. You will find them not only by providing language translations or purchasing services, but also by supporting exporting companies navigating through the complex market access system.This is even more crucial when entering the Chinese market for the first time and in sectors requiring pre-market approval. The long registration process of products might take two or three years. An EU SME may lose market opportunities because they cannot enter the market on time. Thus, the selection of a good agent in China helps simplify substantially the interpretation of the regulatory requirements and clarifies the necessary information and documentation on the side of an exporting company. After the pre-market approval, the next key question is how to find and assess the right business partner. The best way to make the right choice for your business is through due diligence to evaluate the financial, legal, operational and reputational state of another party.
