Content of the report

The Guidelines were written in 2016 and are available at: https://www.eusmecentre.org.cn/guideline/drafting-sales-contracts-when-exporting-china.

The Guidelines need to be updated to make them aligned with recent regulatory as well as business developments in both the EU and China. The updated Guidelines can reflect the same structure as the previous ones, although changes and/or expansions are welcome, for instance including data-related provisions, case studies, etc.

Timeline

A first draft of the guidelines must be submitted to the EU SME Centre by Friday 30 September 2022. The EU SME Centre will revert within two weeks with feedback and requests. The final version of the guidelines is expected to be published by the end of October 2022.

Following the publication of the guidelines, a launch webinar will be organised by the EU SME Centre during which the expert will introduce the content of the guidelines. No logistics/organisational efforts will be needed from the expert.
