China's Export & Import Controls
-- Compliance Fundamentals for Trading with China
August 22, 2013.
Trade is regulated and rigorously controlled in China. These controls are imposed
on both exports and imports, covering strategic goods like rice and oil; dual-use
items and technologies pertaining to nuclear, biological, chemical, missile and
military stuff; special products and technologies like encryption devices; and many
others.
Understanding and complying with the controls is very important for trading with
China. To meet the needs of various economic operators for relevant knowledge and
practical instructions, during the one-day event, Mr. Johnny Xie

28 participants representing manufacturing, logistics, distribution, and professional
