Hello!
As I had been taught here, we need a formal contract between our compagny and the chinese compagny we want to trade with. The contract has to be written in chinese. My question is: Do such contracts exist as something like an official form where buyer and supplier only have to fill in their compagnys, bankaccounts, names, dates ect.? If so, where can they be bought? If not, who create such contracts and where? I guess it must be somebody like a chinese notar, but does the contract has to be signed in a notarial act? It does not make sence for me visiting China at this point of a new business start. Thank you!

Dear Sir,
As we know, to do business with foreign companies, we have to write the contracts in English only, as the English is the only common language in the world for international business.
Maybe you can ask your supplier to write an English contracts for you.

This is China lawyer Gong, if you buy from China, you at least must make a PI or PO with the supplier. The PI is a proforma invoice and the PO is a purchase order. Also, PI and PO can still see dispute occur, so as you asked, if you make a drafted agreement with your supplier, your interest can be protected better. Also, if you make the agreement both in Chinese and English, you can then make clear who is the supplier. Because Chinese government only issues Chinese name company license to applicants, but in reality many suppliers only use an Engish name for their company, and the English name is not written on the company license, so if you someday go to China to sue at court, how can you make the judge believe this English name means the Chinese name, you will have difficulty to prove it, so the perfect purchase agreement is made in Chinese and your language (at least in English).
I hope this helps a little to this pretty lady.

Every company have the English contract.
As for the format, that can be made by the seller, usually the format are different from diferent company, anyway, they include the important info like buyer info, seller info, main info the products, delivery time, but not need to include the bank info to it, that can be attached.
As for official or not, once it is signed by both party, that would be official.
Hello Friend,
different companies or different fields,they have different busines contract format.
you can ask your supplier to make one Chinese contract since i think they are good at it.
and you also can write your format in your own way--write down everything you agree with each other....such as tearms and conditions, deiliver time,payment,unit price,ccompany name and so on.
but pls pay attention to their company name----some scammers use similiar company name to sign contract with you and after you pay the money,they deny it.---my Indian friend's company suffered this matter before...
if you need some more details,pls feel free to contact me at

I think english is a very basic communication tool in global trade, so you can ask them to give you more detail in english.

We do have draft agreement in China, but it depends on the company you contact.
