Several approvals to satisfy
CCC, SRRC and MIIT network access each cover part of the product.
China is the world's largest electronics market, and its data centers and factories need a steady flow of IT equipment. Importing to China requires CCC certification for listed products, radio approval for wireless gear and a registered consignee before your goods land. Every shipment you import into China is checked against these records. One missed step can lead to rejection. We act as your importer of record in China and manage the filings for you.

Every CCC-listed product needs its certificate and mark before it reaches a Chinese port.
CCC certification, the China Compulsory Certification, is issued by approved certification bodies.
It covers many IT products, including laptops, servers, monitors and power supplies. Customs checks the certificate against the declaration. Products without valid CCC can be held, returned or destroyed.
