Questions, answered
How long before we see traction in China?
Plan for twelve months. Regulatory filing, store setup and seeding compound slowly at first; brands that expect a launch spike usually leave before the curve bends.
Do we need a Chinese legal entity?
Not necessarily. Cross-border commerce lets you sell on Tmall Global without a local entity; a domestic entity becomes worthwhile at scale. We map both routes in the baseline audit.
What does NMPA registration actually involve?
Product dossiers, ingredient review and testing through an accredited lab, filed per SKU. Timelines differ for general and special-use cosmetics. We run the filings and tell you which SKUs are not worth registering.
What budget should a board approve for year one?
The honest number comes out of the baseline audit, costed line by line. We decline engagements where the budget cannot reach the first measurable milestone; a budget that cannot buy traction wastes a year.
