WHY US

Why work with us on the China side

Getting a product into China is a documentation problem long before it becomes a logistics problem. Our job is to find the obstruction on paper, weeks before your shipment reaches a Chinese airport.

🧾

Documentation first

We read your product description, composition, origin and intended use, and map it against China's import requirements before anything is booked. Most consignments we are asked to rescue were visible as a problem on paper weeks earlier.

🛡️

We tell you where the line is

If a shipment needs a licence we cannot obtain on your behalf, we say so plainly and tell you who can. That is more useful to you than a competitive quote that leads nowhere.

🌡️

A cold chain you can audit

Validated 2–8 °C and dry-ice packaging, a temperature logger in every consignment, and a temperature report issued alongside delivery. Your QA team receives a document, not an assurance.

🇨🇳

One contact, two languages

You deal with one person in Wuhan who works in English and Chinese. No handoff between an overseas sales office and an unknown local agent, and no translation loss on the documents that matter.

WHAT WE IMPORT

What we can bring into China

We concentrate on biological products and research materials. Every item is classified before we quote, because the paperwork that applies follows the classification — not the label on the box.

Category 01

Research-use reagents & kits

RUO reagents, assay kits, buffers, standards and controls, laboratory consumables. Usually the fastest route into China — in most cases no drug registration is required, though quarantine and safety documentation still applies.

Category 02

IVD raw materials & components

Antigens, antibodies, enzymes, blocking reagents, calibrators and controls supplied to Chinese IVD manufacturers. Classification turns on animal-derived content and on whether the material is commercial or non-commercial.

Category 03

Antibodies, proteins & enzymes

Monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies, recombinant proteins, enzymes, peptides and cytokines, in research and bulk quantities.

⚠️ Unpurified monoclonal antibodies are classified separately at a higher risk level in China and require quarantine approval. They are frequently mistaken for ordinary antibodies.
Category 04

Animal-source high-risk samples (Levels 1–4)

Levels 1–4 animal-source high-risk samples — animal cells, blood, tissue, Drosophila, sections and bovine serum — classified by risk level with compliant approval and transport. Also non-infectious serum, plasma, tissue, cell and fluid samples for research, method validation or clinical trial support.

Category 05

Culture media & cell culture materials

Media, sera, supplements and cell lines, including material sourced from recognised commercial cell banks.

Category 06

Registered pharmaceuticals — logistics leg only

If your product already holds a China import drug licence, we handle the China-side leg: clearance coordination, port drug testing liaison, cold storage and delivery to the licensed consignee.

What we do not handle — stated up front so we waste none of your time
  • Human genetic resources
  • Level-1 risk pathogens and highly pathogenic microorganisms
  • Shipments where documents are arranged after dispatch
  • Acting as your importer of record or licence applicant
  • Drug registration agency work
SERVICES

The China-side leg, in six services

We do not own warehouses or trucks. We concentrate on the parts that decide whether your shipment clears — the classification, the paperwork, and the temperature — and we coordinate the rest through vetted partners.

📋

Import documentation pre-check

We read your product description, composition, origin and intended use, and map it against China's import requirements before anything is booked — the part of the job that actually saves the shipment.

Validated cold chain

Packaging designed for the shipment, not off a shelf — phase-change 2–8 °C, dry ice −78.5 °C, packing at origin or re-icing at the port, with a logger in every consignment.

COLD CHAIN

Temperature control from origin to bench

A temperature excursion does not announce itself. The box arrives looking perfect; the assay fails three weeks later. We design for the whole journey and document what actually happened.

2–8 °C

Chilled

  • Phase-change panels sized to the shipment and the transit time
  • Conditioned before packing, never in direct contact with primary packaging
  • Validated box configurations with documented hold times
Ice packs placed against vials cause localised freezing — intact on arrival, dead on assay. Placement matters as much as quantity.
−78.5 °C

Dry ice

  • UN1845 dry ice as a refrigerant, quantity declared correctly
  • Vented packaging and correct marking
  • Sublimation calculated against the routing, not the timetable
Dry ice is a dangerous good for air transport. It must be declared as such, and the paperwork differs from an ordinary chilled shipment.
15–25 °C

Controlled ambient

  • Thermal protection for temperature-sensitive but non-refrigerated items
  • Insulated packaging with a logger for QA records
  • Seasonal routing adjustment for extreme conditions
01

Origin packing

Packing at the shipper's premises with the logger activated and witnessed.

02

Air transport

Booked with a carrier that accepts your commodity class and temperature profile.

03

Port handling

Arrival, customs presentation and cold storage at the port of entry.

04

Clearance & testing

Clearance coordination and port drug testing liaison where the product requires it.

05

Delivery

Temperature-controlled delivery, temperature report and proof of delivery.

CHINA COMPLIANCE

The four layers of getting into China

Importing biological products into China involves four separate layers of requirements. Only one of them is ours to deliver. Knowing which is which saves months — and it is the first thing we explain to a new client.

Layer 1

The importer

Someone in China must act as importer of record, hold a business licence covering import and export, and be registered with China Customs. For second-level risk biological materials the consignee must also be registered with its local Customs district. This is your China entity, your distributor or your end user — we cannot be your importer of record.

Layer 2

The product

Depending on the item this may be a health quarantine approval, an animal and plant quarantine permit, a human genetic resources approval, a medical device registration, or a drug import licence with a clearance note. The legal applicant is your company or your designated China entity. We pre-check, assemble the package, declare as your authorised agent and follow up.

Layer 3

The overseas manufacturer

For certain biological materials and blood products the overseas manufacturer must appear on China Customs' list of approved foreign suppliers, and the consignment must carry an official veterinary or safety certificate. We can check the list and tell your consignee exactly what will be required.

Layer 4

The port and the last mile

Designated port of entry, cold-chain inspection, port drug testing where applicable, cold storage and temperature-controlled delivery. This is the layer we own end to end — and the layer where we can move fastest on your behalf.

·Special goods health quarantine approval
·Animal & plant quarantine permit
·Import drug clearance note
·Medical device registration or filing
·Transport condition report
·Certificate of origin (CO / RCEP)
·Safety statement / non-hazardous declaration / SDS
·Chinese label & leaflet files
·Risk assessment package
The part that is not ours to do

Under China's customs rules the legal applicant for the approvals above must be the inbound entity itself — that is, your company or your designated China entity. ZHUIGUANG acts as your freight forwarder and authorised customs declarant: pre-review, document assembly, agent declaration and follow-up. We are not the licence applicant and we are not the importer of record. Where we cannot help, we will tell you before you spend money.

GATEWAY

Why Wuhan, and not Shanghai or Beijing

Where your consignment enters China decides how long it spends on a tarmac. Wuhan is one of the few inland cities with a fully equipped biological import gateway.

✈

Two designated drug-import airports

Wuhan Tianhe International Airport and Ezhou Huahu International Airport are both on China's list of designated ports for drug imports. We work out of both, and choose the entry point that fits your routing and your consignee.

🔬

Hubei's only qualified drug-testing institute

Port drug testing for the province is handled by the Wuhan Institute for Drug and Medical Device Control. For consignees in central China this removes the need to route sampling through another province.

🚚

Central China reach

From Wuhan, road delivery reaches Hubei, Hunan, Henan, Jiangxi, Anhui, Chongqing and Sichuan typically within one to two days — a shorter cold chain than landing on the coast and trucking inland.

🔁

Capacity we already use

We move biological products outbound from Wuhan every week. Your inbound consignment travels on the same vetted lanes, the same packaging configurations and the same carrier relationships — not on a route we are learning.

BOUNDARY

What we do — and what we won't

Both lists are short and both are honest. In biological imports there is no grey zone worth improvising in.

What we do

  • Import classification and risk-level assessment
  • Documentation pre-check with a written gap list
  • Package assembly and follow-up for approvals, as your agent
  • Customs declaration under your written authorisation
  • Cold-chain packaging, packing at origin and re-icing at the port
  • Port cold storage through licensed third-party facilities
  • Temperature logging, deviation reports and delivery in China
  • Exception handling, re-routing, return and claims support

What we don't

  • We are not the licence or approval applicant
  • We are not your importer of record, and we do not handle your trade payments
  • We do not provide drug registration agency services
  • No human genetic resources
  • No Level-1 risk or highly pathogenic pathogens
  • No shipments where documents are arranged after dispatch
  • We do not take on your Chinese labelling liability
ABOUT

About ZHUIGUANG

Zhuiguang International Logistics (Wuhan) is an international freight forwarder specialising in biological products and biological materials. We work in both directions — China to the world, and the world into China — which means the same validated packaging, the same carrier relationships and the same compliance discipline apply whichever way your consignment travels.

Our China-side import capability rests on Wuhan's dual gateway. Both Wuhan Tianhe and Ezhou Huahu are designated drug-import airports, and Wuhan hosts Hubei's only qualified drug-testing institute. For a consignee in central China that is a materially shorter and better-controlled cold chain than landing on the coast and trucking inland.

We do not own warehouses or trucks. We put our effort where it changes the outcome: classification before quoting, documents before dispatch, and one accountable person from origin to bench.
