China is now one of the world’s largest markets for imported products and technologies. In the past, sales into China were dominated by large industrial products from Fortune 500 companies, but in recent years, SMEs have gained a considerable amount of traction in the China market.
Taichi uses its experience and resources to help clients for their business development in China. We can guide from the concept phase all the way to the shelves of the optimal distribution outlets for your product.
Market Research
Any plan to sell products or services in China requires detailed market research in order to identify trends in spending, optimal sales channels, and relevant regulations/tariffs. Our team of professionals draws from its own experience as well as primary sources in order to provide feasibility studies and specific action plans for our clients. Whether you require a comprehensive market entry strategy, a short list of vetted resources, or anything in between Taichi is at your service.
Government Relations and Legal Services
China’s legal system is often confusing for foreign companies to navigate because legislation emanates from hundreds of different organizations, many of which contradict each other, and is often vague by nature. As such, doing business in China requires an intimate understanding of the specific rules, regulations, and policies that are relevant to your mission. Taichi’s legal team has the proven ability to navigate through this system. Furthermore, whenever questions or doubts arise, we seek clarification directly from the administrative bodies that are charged with regulating your project(s).
Shipping and Logistics
In spite of the fact that China’s infrastructure is top notch in many respects, it differs from its counterparts in Western countries on a fundamental level and is often lacking in 2nd/3rd tier cities. Furthermore, little known government regulations have the potential to pose significant problems for foreign sellers. Taichi’s team understands how to move products in and around China at favorable rates and how to comply with China’s complex commercial codes in a wide array of industries.
