In the case of the Chinese government, export licensing is managed by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE). If a China-based manufacturer wishes to sell their goods to international customers, they must first apply to the relevant regulatory body and then verify their export license with their bank in China.\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h4><b>Why is it important for Chinese suppliers to have an export license?<\/b><\/h4><p>If a supplier or manufacturer doesn&#8217;t have a China export license, CNH or CNY payments made from international sellers can be blocked by SAFE. Any goods ordered through an unlicensed seller can also be halted at the border by Chinese customs agents. Therefore, marketplace sellers intending to buy Chinese products must check on their suppliers&#8217; export license paperwork.\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h4><b>Do all Chinese suppliers have export licenses?<\/b><\/h4><p>Previously, export licenses were handled by third-party trading companies or export agents; this meant that manufacturers had to go through one of these third parties to sell their goods in other countries. However, the majority of Chinese manufacturers and suppliers now handle these regulations internally. Export agencies still operate in China and can help domestic companies meet export compliance laws. In most instances, an export agency will charge around 1% on the cost of the exported goods.\u00a0<\/p><p>It&#8217;s also the case that some manufacturers in China don&#8217;t carry an export license. The majority of these suppliers are companies that manufacture components. In these instances, they will likely only sell to other domestic businesses that specialise in product assembly and do not sell to international customers directly.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h4><b>Who is responsible for applying for an export license?<\/b><\/h4><p>The Chinese manufacturer or supplier is responsible for applying for an export license. Alternatively, a supplier may seek the help of a third-party trading agent who can help them meet the legal exporting requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-72774e55 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con\" data-id=\"72774e55\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19b1a828 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con\" data-id=\"19b1a828\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7d575d82 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7d575d82\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.15.0 - 02-08-2023 *\/\n.elementor-heading-title{padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title[class*=elementor-size-]>a{color:inherit;font-size:inherit;line-height:inherit}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-small{font-size:15px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-medium{font-size:19px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-large{font-size:29px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xl{font-size:39px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xxl{font-size:59px}<\/style><div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Open a World Account for free<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-170b27ef elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"170b27ef\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li>Open 10+ local currency accounts with local account details<\/li><li>Direct CNH payments to 1688.com<\/li><li>Pay suppliers, partners and staff in 40+ currencies and 130+ destinations<\/li><li>Collect secure payments from 100+ marketplaces and payment gateways, including Amazon, AliExpress, Paypal and Shopify<\/li><li>Lock in currency conversion rates for up to 24 months<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-13de3ec3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"13de3ec3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/portal.worldfirst.com\/register?region=SG\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Get started<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-de5c422 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"de5c422\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4><b>What is included in a Chinese export license application?<\/b><\/h4><p>Suppliers looking to export from China need to fill in a People&#8217;s Republic of China export application including the following information:\u00a0<\/p><ul><li aria-level=\"1\">Details of the shipped goods, including name, specifications, unit price, quantity, shipping destinations and payment details\u00a0<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Business details, including an annual export plan and copies of contracts they have in place with international buyers<\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><h4><b>Do international buyers have to pay export taxes or fees on Chinese goods?<\/b><\/h4><p>You don&#8217;t have to pay specific export taxes on Chinese products.

Once you have found a supplier, you can request a copy of their China export license documentation and verify the information. Any reputable manufacturer utilising marketplace platforms such as Alibaba should be forthcoming when asked to provide their export license documentation. A valid export license will include:\u00a0<\/p><ul><li aria-level=\"1\">Company name\u00a0<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">18-digit registration number\u00a0<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Entity type<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Official address\u00a0<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Legal representative\u00a0<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Date of establishment\u00a0<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Registered capital\u00a0<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Expiry date\u00a0<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Business scope<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">QR code linked to China&#8217;s National Enterprise Credit Information System<\/li><\/ul><p><b>Note:<\/b>\u00a0Chinese export licenses are written in Chinese.

However, with the\u00a0World Account\u00a0you can make same-day or next-day currency transfers in over 60 different currencies (cut-off times apply). You can also mitigate against risk by locking in an exchange rate to suit your budgeting needs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2cd44bbe e-flex e-con-boxed e-con\" data-id=\"2cd44bbe\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-409fcf8 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con\" data-id=\"409fcf8\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-705185b5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"705185b5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"160\" height=\"160\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.marmot-cloud.com\/worldfirst\/sites\/9\/2024\/03\/20240327031331810.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-31193\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.marmot-cloud.com\/worldfirst\/sites\/9\/2024\/03\/20240327031331810.png 160w, https:\/\/cdn.marmot-cloud.com\/worldfirst\/sites\/9\/2024\/03\/20240327031331810-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7422093e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7422093e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">WorldFirst<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-584f61c3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-shortcode\" data-id=\"584f61c3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"shortcode.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shortcode\"><div class=\"blogs_container\">\n                    <div class=\"blogs_item\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldfirst.com\/sg\/insight\/business-with-china\/1688-com-how-to-source-wholesale-supplies-from-alibabas-b2b-giant\/\" class=\"blog_img_box\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.marmot-cloud.com\/worldfirst\/sites\/9\/2024\/04\/20240422053420538-scaled.jpeg\"\n                     alt=\"cover_img\" class=\"cover_img\">\n            <\/a>\n            <div class=\"blog_abstract\">\n                <h1>\n                    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldfirst.com\/sg\/insight\/business-with-china\/1688-com-how-to-source-wholesale-supplies-from-alibabas-b2b-giant\/\">1688.com: how to source wholesale supplies from Alibaba\u2019s B2B giant<\/a>\n                <\/h1>\n                <p>Discover what 1688 is and why e-commerce businesses are excited about China\u2019s largest B2B marketplace<\/p>\n                <span>Apr \/ 2024<\/span>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"blogs_item\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldfirst.com\/sg\/insight\/business-with-china\/chinese-export-license-guide\/\" class=\"blog_img_box\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.marmot-cloud.com\/worldfirst\/sites\/9\/2024\/04\/20240422042534599.jpg\"\n                     alt=\"cover_img\" class=\"cover_img\">\n            <\/a>\n            <div class=\"blog_abstract\">\n                <h1>\n                    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldfirst.com\/sg\/insight\/business-with-china\/chinese-export-license-guide\/\">Quick guide: What is a China export license?<\/a>\n                <\/h1>\n                <p>In our latest guide, we look at everything to do with China export licenses \u2013 who needs them, what for, and how to make sure your partners have one.<\/p>\n                <span>Apr \/ 2024<\/span>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"blogs_item\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldfirst.com\/sg\/insight\/business-with-china\/avoid-returned-payments-china\/\" class=\"blog_img_box\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.marmot-cloud.com\/worldfirst\/sites\/9\/2024\/04\/20240422041723629.jpg\"\n                     alt=\"cover_img\" class=\"cover_img\">\n            <\/a>\n            <div class=\"blog_abstract\">\n                <h1>\n                    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldfirst.com\/sg\/insight\/business-with-china\/avoid-returned-payments-china\/\">How to avoid returned payments from China<\/a>\n                <\/h1>\n                <p>Returned payments can make a serious dent in a business\u2019s profits.
