From Seoul to Shanghai: Essential Steps for Korean Brands to Legally Sell in China (E-commerce & Clinics)

Why Should Korean Brands Sell in China?

China’s consumer market is booming, especially in e-commerce and healthcare. With over 1 billion online shoppers and rising demand for K-beauty, K-health, and medical services, Korean brands have a golden opportunity.

Key Benefits of Selling in China:

✔ Huge Market Potential – China’s e-commerce sales hit $2.3 trillion in 2023 (Statista).

✔ High Demand for Korean Products – K-beauty, supplements, and medical devices are highly sought-after.

✔ Cross-Border E-Commerce (CBEC) Advantages – Lower tariffs and faster customs clearance.

✔ Growing Medical & Aesthetic Clinics Market – Chinese consumers trust Korean skincare and cosmetic treatments.

However, entering China requires strict legal compliance, including:

• Product registration (FDA/NMPA approval for cosmetics & medical devices)

• E-commerce platform setup (Tmall Global, JD Worldwide, Douyin)

• Clinic licensing (for medical & aesthetic services)

This is where SODA Global steps in—ensuring a smooth, compliant market entry.

Who Should Expand to China?

✔ K-Beauty Brands – Skincare, cosmetics, and supplements.

✔ Korean Healthcare & Medical Device Companies – Face masks, aesthetic machines, supplements.

✔ Korean Aesthetic Clinics – Looking to open branches or partner with Chinese clinics.

✔ E-Commerce Sellers – Korean brands wanting to sell on China Tmall, JD, or Douyin.
