One important distinction is that any overseas applicants seeking import drug registrations must have a subsidiary or partner company within the territory of the People\u2019s Republic of China. All prescription pharma products must receive approval from the NMPA and there are different requirements and pathways depending on several criteria such as the existence of a national drug standard, or the indicated claims.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Below we have listed the questions that our clients usually have with regards to Pharma drug registrations in China:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Contact us<\/a> about your questions on your Pharma and medicine registration in China!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Overview<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n In China, OTC drugs are divided into Class A and Class B, and marketing can only be done following approval by the NMPA. Additionally, all imported consumer health products must obtain an Imported Drug License from the NMPA.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n With our long-term experience and network with the NMPA, we can offer a relatively fast registration process for Consumer Healthcare & OTC drugs in China. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Please see below the questions that our clients usually have on the Consumer Healthcare & OTC drugs registration process in China:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Contact us<\/a> to learn more about Consumer Healthcare Drug\/OTC registration in China!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Overview<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n In China, Medical devices are controlled based on a classification system. There are three classes of Medical Devices (I, II, and III) based on the degree of risk they present. The rules for device classifications are quite specific and can vary greatly depending on different criteria. Class I devices are subject to the least regulatory control and class III, the most. <\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n In addition to having different classes, different regulatory pathways also exist for bringing your medical device to the market. Class I devices are subject to filing administration and Class II and III devices require a registration administration. All imported medical devices must already have distribution permissions for the country where the manufacturing is carried out. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The questions that our clients usually ask about Medical Device Registration in China with the NMPA are:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Contact us<\/a> to learn more about Medical Devices registration in China!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Overview<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Food supplements and nutraceuticals in China are labelled as \u201chealth foods\u201d <\/strong>and are defined as food products that have specific health functions or supply vitamins or minerals but are not used for the purpose of curing disease. Health foods must be registered with the NMPA and obtain either a health food registration certificate or filing certificate. Overseas companies attempting to register health foods for sale in China must have a permanent Chinese representative office or local agent.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The questions that our clients usually ask about the Food Supplement registration with the NMPA:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nPharma Prescription Drugs<\/h2>\n
