📋 Request Free Label Compliance CheckWhat Is Product Label Compliance Review?
Product label compliance review is the detailed examination of your existing Chinese labels or the creation of new bilingual labels to ensure they meet all applicable GB standards. Every product category sold in China has its own labeling requirements: GB 7718 for pre-packaged foods, GB 5296.3 for cosmetics, GB 5296.1 for consumer goods, GB 4806.1 for food contact materials, and many more. Missing a mandatory element — such as the importer's name and address, country of origin, or the correct Chinese product name — can lead to customs rejection, fines, or product recalls.
Our label compliance service guides foreign manufacturers through the entire China labeling audit journey. We review your existing labels against the relevant national standards, suggest corrections, and can even design print-ready bilingual label artwork. With TEK China, you can navigate the import product label requirements without the risk of non-compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Product Label Compliance
What makes a Chinese label compliant?
A compliant Chinese label must include, at minimum, the product name in Chinese, ingredient list (if applicable), net content, production date, shelf life, country of origin, and the name and address of the Chinese responsible party. The exact requirements depend on the product category and the applicable GB standard.
Can I just use a sticker label on my imported product?
Yes, for many product categories, a supplementary Chinese label in sticker form is acceptable, provided it is firmly affixed and contains all mandatory information. However, for certain items like infant formula or some cosmetics, direct printing may be required. We can advise on the best approach.
Do you provide the Chinese translation for the label?
Absolutely. Our bilingual team handles all necessary translations, including ingredient names, warnings, and usage instructions, ensuring they meet the specific terminology required by Chinese regulations.
What happens if my label is rejected by Chinese customs?
If a label is non-compliant, customs may detain the shipment and require the label to be corrected, which can incur storage fees and significant delays. In serious cases, the product may be destroyed or returned. Our review helps prevent this risk.
Is a label review required even if my product already has a CCC certificate?
Yes, CCC certification covers product safety, but a separate label review ensures that the information presented to the consumer meets all applicable GB labeling standards. Both are needed for full market compliance.
