China Pharmaceutical Guidebook Series
Preface
China possesses a fourth population in the world and has one of the
largest drug markets round the world. By 2003, sales on the Chinese
drug market have reached $6.1 billion dollars, an increase of 2.3 fold
over 1998 levels. A series of factors, such as an increasingly ageing
population, accelerating growth of urban population as well as
expansion of healthcare covering urban and rural, will grow the
Chinese drug market with a growth rate of 20-25 percent per annum in
next five years. China is expected to become the fifth largest drug
market in the world by 2010.

Since the reform and open door policy implemented by Chinese
authorities in the late 1970s, the door of the Chinese drug market
began opening up to the world step by step, which gave a fillip to the
imported drugs from overseas pharmaceutical manufacturers and
producers. By 2003, sales of imported drugs have shared one fifth on
the Chinese drug market. As China joins the World Trade Organization
(WTO) and integrates more completely into the global economy, it will
further open the door to a lucrative drug market for overseas
pharmaceutical companies. More and more overseas pharmaceutical
manufacturers and producers expect to enter such drug market and seize a larger part of such drug market. To enter such a lucrative drug market, the first obstacle faced by overseas pharmaceutical
manufacturers and producers is how to file the application for their
imported drug registration with Chinese pharmaceutical authorities.
The latest "Measures for the Administration of Drug Registration" have
entered into force since May 1, 2005. These "Measures" provide
detailed requirements and procedures of application and approval for
imported drug registration. Under such circumstance, Access China
Management Consulting Ltd writes out the China Pharmaceutical
Guidebook Series. The aim of this guidebook series is to guide
overseas pharmaceutical manufacturers and producers to achieve a
successful application and approval for their imported drug
registration. This guidebook series are composed of four guidebooks as
following.

regulations for imported drug registration in China, from the
classification of drugs, definitions relating to application for
imported drug registration, the application and approval for imported
drugs and repackaging of imported drugs, the supplementary application
and re-registration for imported drugs, the clinical investigation for
application of imported drug registration to the time limits in drug
registration. After have skimmed through this chapter, audience can be
clearly aware of the Chinese latest regulations for imported drug
registration. Chapter 4 introduces the procedures of application and
approval for imported drug registration, including the procedures of
