Q
Dear forum collegues,
We are a manufacturer of small dental instruments, which differ not much from each other regarding medical functionality, material, shape and size. Many products of our company were registered by SFDA - this registration is valid until the end of the year 2015.
Unfortunately, many of the applied (e.g. 1500) class-2-products were not mentioned in the final registration list given as an attachment to the registration certificate. We do not know why SFDA shortened the applied list. No comment was given on request. As an alternative a new registration period (lasting env. 15 months!) for "the lost ones" was proposed.
Nevertheless this had so far no importance for deliveries to China.
Newly the customs crosschecked the individual product designation and found items which are not on the registration list. The delivery was stopped at the Chinese customs.
Does anybody know how to deal with such an occurence?
Same problem: In a registration-period of e.g. 5 years many manufacturers develop ?new? products (with minor changes and improvements but equal functions) very similar to the registered products and label them consistently different from the registered ones. As these ?new? products are not on the registration list (which might be e.g. 4 years old) and can therefore not imported in China without an additionally registration procedure.
Does somebody know any method to come legally out of this conflict (which is faced to many manufacturers)??
