Source questions

Keep the hierarchy visible

This source page does not make product-specific determinations.

Is China Plus One a single legal regime?

No. The programme can trigger separate customs, forced-labour, controls, corporate, labour, product, environmental and PRC outbound regimes.

Can supplier documents establish the legal rule?

Supplier documents provide facts. Current statutes, regulations, treaties and official interpretations supply the legal authority.

How often should the source file be refreshed?

Refresh before a live conclusion and when a law, list, guidance document or controlling fact changes.

Official starting points
