What are the entry requirements for foreign sellers to open a shop on a third party B2C platform in China?
The entry requirements for different third party B2C platforms in China are very similar. They include having a presence in Mainland China (some platforms require 0-2 years or more) and registered capital, usually of more than RMB 10,000. They must also possess relevant industrial and VAT payer certificates and qualifications. In order to fulfill these requirements, it is necessary to have a China-based team.
