Removing China’s Regulatory Iron Curtain: The Chemlinked Story

China: The Land of Opportunity?

To nutshell China in the most David Brent-esque way I can think of, imagine on your right hand is the dollar symbol ($$) and the word demand, representing China. On the left hand representing the rest of the world is the word supply…. Now put them together and bask in the profound succinctness of this representation, Well… maybe not. While China certainly has amazing potential there are huge obstacles facing foreign enterprise looking to legally do business in China.

Problems:

• The language barrier
• Cultural differences
• China’s Legislative Iron Curtain (Technical Barriers to Trade)
• Regional disparities in Regulatory Enforcement

While none of these challenges are insurmountable, traditionally the time and financial investment necessary to overcome these obstacles have been prohibitive for all but the largest multinational companies with the capacity to setup operations in the mainland and slow play market entry. SMEs without the luxury of dedicated in house regulatory departments have been forced for the most part to watch from the sidelines.

Solution:

Chemlinked Portals + REACH24H Compliance

Chemlinked Compliance Portals were created by REACH24H to meet the massive and largely unanswered demand for dependable regulatory information and quality compliance services that are needed by food, agrochemical, cosmetic and chemical companies exporting to China. With the resounding success of REACH24H and the huge demand for the services it provides the chemical industry, it quickly became apparent that the food, cosmetics and agrochemical industries were major markets also lacking a dependable intermediary to interpret China’s complex regulations, quarterback product registration projects and ultimately remove the regulatory barriers preventing foreign enterprises accessing China's markets.
