Decision questions

Not every business should begin with the same entity.

Some companies need a Mainland operating entity immediately. Others may begin with Hong Kong, Hainan, a representative office or a staged market-entry route. The correct answer follows the operating model.

Mainland

Local operating presence

For local contracts, invoicing, employees, customers and sustained operations.

Mainland route →
Hong Kong

International company route

For regional, holding, services or trade models that fit Hong Kong's corporate framework.

Hong Kong route →
Hainan

Free Trade Port route

For businesses that may benefit from Hainan's location and current Free Trade Port policies.

Hainan route →

Market & Trade

Go beyond company registration. Build the operating, sourcing, selling and compliance route around the real business.

What may a product need before it enters the China market?

Requirements depend on the product, use, claims, classification, location and current rules. We verify the applicable route before quoting regulated execution work.

PathwayWhat we coordinate
Market-access pre-screeningReview product category, intended use, HS code, sales channel and claims to identify likely approvals, standards, labels and responsible authorities before money is spent on applications.
GACC / CIFERFor imported foods, determine whether overseas-manufacturer registration through GACC/CIFER and category-specific competent-authority steps are relevant.
CCCCheck whether the product falls within the current CCC catalogue and whether certification, self-declaration or another route needs to be investigated.
SRRCFor products with radio-transmitting functions, assess whether SRRC model approval or another radio-management procedure may apply.
GB / GB-TSearch applicable GB and GB/T standards, check status and effective dates, and flag where specialist interpretation or testing is needed.
NMPAAssess whether the product falls within an NMPA medical-device, cosmetics or drug pathway and which classification, filing or registration route should be investigated.
Chinese label & packaging reviewReview Chinese-language labels, packaging statements and product claims against the identified regulatory route before printing, import or launch.
