Maintaining the ability to change distributors, or efficiently sell directly to multiple regional distributors is critical to a successful strategy in China. Applications for medical device registration must be submitted and the license controlled by a properly licensed local agent, the China License Holder. It is possible to use an Independent License Holder as the licensed local agent.
Asia Actual is a full-service provider of medical device license-holder services in China, specializing in working with regional distributors. Contracting with Asia Actual as an independent license holder allows you to:
- Sell to multiple regional distributors (avoiding mark-up by a national importer)
- Increase transfer pricing (as distributors are not investing in registration costs)
- Improve leverage in distributor negotiations/responses
- Add or change distributors as required
- Keep intellectual property away from local commercial agents
