For global Class I medical device exporters targeting the Chinese market, leveraging Guangzhou Nansha Port as a strategic gateway is pivotal. This port serves as a key entry point for medical device trade in southern China, offering specialized services to streamline the export process. However, success requires strict adherence to China’s medical device import regulations and meticulous preparation of China-compliant documentation.
Key Documentation for Seamless Export
- Medical Device Registration/Record Certificate: This is the fundamental document for Class I and higher-category medical devices. For global exporters, ensure the certificate is issued by local regulatory bodies (e.g., FDA in the U.S., EMA in the EU) and clearly specifies "Class I medical device" classification. It validates compliance with China’s Medical Device Registration Management Regulations, enabling customs acceptance and market circulation.
- Certificate of Origin (CO): Crucial for tariff eligibility under China’s Free Trade Agreements (FTAs). Obtain a bilingual English-Chinese CO from local chambers of commerce to facilitate smooth customs review. A valid CO helps secure favorable tariff rates, avoiding higher most-favored-nation (MFN) tariffs.
- Product Labeling and Specification Sheet: Mandatory for verifying product safety and alignment with Chinese standards. Labels must include Chinese translations of product names, usage instructions, and safety warnings. Specification sheets should detail technical parameters, material composition, and Class I classification codes to ensure compliance.
