BONUS: China’s Oct 1 Export Overhaul: What Every Manufacturer Must Do Now
Starting October 1st, 2025, the Chinese government is enforcing stricter export compliance rules that could significantly disrupt supply chains. Exporters will need to disclose the manufacturer’s identity and prove that every component was purchased the formal way, with aligned flows of materials, contracts, and tax invoices.
In this short bonus episode, Renaud Anjoran explains:
What the “formal way” means in practice
How these rules may impact VAT rebates and why non-compliant products will no longer qualify
The risks of drop-shipping and direct sourcing under the new system
Why a rush on shipping and limited Hong Kong warehouse space could cause delays
Immediate steps you should take to protect your supply chain before the deadline
If you manufacture in or export from China, this is urgent information you can’t afford to ignore.
