Quoting from [shumbro]:
so, at this moment I'm in process to start up new business importing healthy drink under my own label. The producer said that once I will send him a sample of my label, he has to check it with some authority in China, is it legal or not. So my question is - is it mandatory to print Made in China (or Made in PRC) on the bottle? What if I don't print it on the bottle? Chinese authorities will not approve it? All I would like to print is like - Manufactured for the Company XXX by the Company XXX some thig like that. Will it work? By the way the label will be includin Russian and English only.
Rules about the country of origin fall under YOUR government regulations. The supplier is required to clear the labels info under his export regs. (checking brand names etc). This is pretty standard and nothing to worry about. Don't forget to have your label approved by YOUR government. In some situations even the size of the font and the typeface can be regulated. And depending on what exactly the drink is other labelling may be required as well. If the label as a whole does not meet the standards they will either confiscate or make you re-label. Either is expensive!
I am purchasing equipment from china under my trade mark. I authorized with the authorization letter to Seller to develop equipment and packaging on behalf of using my own brand name. My authorization letter only allow s Seller to produce equipments for me, and never use the my brand name for any other customer . But it seems that I reassure myself that everything will be ok. But i have unanswered of questions like this:1) My brand registered in Russia only
2) Who may guaranty that Seller should not register it as his brand in his country?
I heard such history.
