Chinese packaging regulations pose a significant hurdle to trading with China—particularly for high-value small packaged goods and the luxury end of the market. Lack of harmonisation in excessive packaging and hazardous goods regulation means European exporters need to be mindful that they are in compliance. This applies particularly to pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and spirits sectors.
Exporters must:
- Be sure that their packaging complies with China’s excessive packaging regulations
- Be sure that their packaging complies with China’s hazardous goods regulations
