Telecom products trade show services

China (mainland) – The China Ministry of Commerce has drafted and is soliciting comments from the public on two new rules—the E-commerce Pattern Regulation and Online Shopping Service Regulation—to better regulate online transactions in the country.

The two regulations have set standards for e-commerce business areas, ranging from legal qualifications and registration licenses to operation behavior, payment means and service systems. They are applicable to the four kinds of online transaction of B2B, B2C, C2C and G2B (government-to-business). The draft regulations requires that all online store operators must have a legal entity qualification and they must provide their business license, taxation registration certification, special service license, business address and contact details at the bottom of the home page of their e-commerce Web sites.

The regulations stipulates also that e-commerce platforms must not provide services to unqualified or unlicensed businesses such as those that sell harmful and hazardous goods, they must not deal with special goods like pharmaceuticals and medical instruments.
