Give the brand context
Describe your country of origin, product category, target customer and the reason you are considering China. Explain what is already established and what is still a hypothesis.
Collect the essentials
Prepare an assortment overview, product specifications, ingredients or materials where relevant, packaging information and the documentation you currently hold. List any gaps rather than assuming documents will be sufficient.
Name the open questions
Separate commercial questions from regulatory ones. Category, import route, labelling and claims may need specialist assessment before any launch plan can be confirmed.
Define a useful outcome
Choose the decision you want to make next: evaluate an entry route, prioritize products or discuss a scoped pilot. Share your timing and available resources so the first discussion has a clear purpose.
