In a China local tax issue we doubted about the statements of the Chinese partners. With the fast and competent advice from the EU SME Centre the issue was clarified, the tax was reduced from 15% to 5%. Considerable 10% savings on the commission income for our company.

The most important help of the EU SME Centre is that it provided a helpful framework for entering the Chinese market.

Getting to know in detail how the supply chain works for the so-called showrooms is a bit tricky without the counselling of true experts. The EU SME Centre reacted fast informing my company to whom to contact in the Shanghai fashion scene to navigate through the world of showrooms.

I personally consider the EU SME Centre as a great support for European Companies in order to have a better understanding of the complexity of China, in terms of regulatory, trends, culture, society and business. I really appreciate the great support of the EU SME Centre and especially from Rafel Jimenez Buendia, for his personal and professional help.
