When exporting products globally, companies must comply with the market entry requirements of each country, including product registration and compliance tasks. To effectively manage regulatory affairs, businesses often engage third-party compliance providers, necessitating the sharing of sensitive business information and trade secrets.

For example, introducing a new cosmetic ingredient in China requires adherence to specific regulations and submission of various documents such as the New Cosmetic Ingredient R&D report, research documents on preparation techniques, stability, quality control standards, safety assessment documents, technical requirements, and other supportive materials.

Similarly, for products such as chemicals, pesticides, fertilizers, and pharmaceuticals, the registration/notification process demands detailed information as well. This could include ingredient compositions, research methodologies, safety data, testing reports, and even supply chain information and trade details like import/export volumes.

Value of Protecting Trade Secrets

Trade secrets are essential to an enterprise\’s competitiveness and are directly tied to its market position and growth potential. When choosing service providers, companies should not only consider their technical expertise and experience but also evaluate their ability to safeguard commercial information. This ensures the security of trade secrets and protects business interests.
