Restrictions on shipping electronic goods into China

Hi

A colleague believes that there is a legal restriction that prevents foreign manufacturers shipping electronic goods into China. Beyond compliance with standard regs (EMC/wireless, med devices, RoHS etc.) I don't know of anything that would specifically prevent electronic equipment being imported into China. Does anyone know of anything?

Obviously there are commercial issues (can you make it cheap enough to price it correctly) and IP risks, but is there a blanket ban or restriction on active devices or electronic products generically?

thanks for your inputs

In short, no, there is not a "ban" on shipping electronics into China. We have several large customers in China who use our network and time code products.

Considering all the past reports of "lead" in childrens' toys manufactured in China and sold in the U.S., the uninitiated might be inclined to think the reverse is more believable. But as far as blanket restrictions go (of electronic equipment), not true. Our company regularly sends devices to China (for repair only) and they ship it back to the U.S. in ranging from new to sellable condition.

I believe yes there are restrictions on Exports to China, it depends on what you export, where in China, to whom you are shipping, what the End-User will use the product for, civil use or military use, etc., etc., etc.

You should research the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) on the web and determine what catagory your product is classified as, or call and ask The Office of Exporter Services number for help at: 202-482-4811. There is alot to consider and lots of available help from the Dept of Commerce before you export.
All the Best!
Thanks!

A "Ban" No, but a lot of detailed analysis of your product to understand if you can export it (to China or any country) and the requirements of the country that you are sending it to allowing it into the country.

Yes, China custom ban electronic goods belongs to the 3C compulsory list but without license, fortunately, Medical device not belongs to the 3c compulsory list, it is ok to release but you need registration certificate from CFDA, reused MD are not allowed to import into China, there is no other ban regulation i think.
