FAQ‘S

How important is researching the marketplace and opportunities in China?

While China is generally considered to be the largest market for ANZ imported foods, it is also extremely dynamic and competitive. Shopping trends evolve at breathtaking speed and products can be lost in the clutter of brands being sourced from all over the world.

It is essential to have a clear understanding of your product point of difference and target consumer demographic.

What is value proposition development?

A critical component of your market research is to determine the commercial viability, i.e. your value proposition, of your brand and product in the China marketplace. China may be the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for one brand whereas for another, it could be frustrating and expensive exercise.

What does the compliance support include?

China import compliance has been getting progressively more complex and stringent since China introduced its Food Safety Law back in 2015.

Peloris guides you through the ever changing minefield of China food import regulatory compliance as it pertains to entity, product ingredients and labels.

How long does this whole process take?

Preparing a ‘Ready to Sell’ business case that includes comprehensive market analysis and product compliance assessment typically takes from 1 to 3 months depending on the nature of the food category.
