Western contracts don't work in China. These do.

Most importers use a Western contract template — or nothing at all. When something goes wrong, they find out what that costs. Every template in this collection is built the way Chinese courts actually work: the Chinese version governs, PRC governing law and jurisdiction where the supplier operates, RMB liquidated damages with pre-estimate language Chinese courts will enforce without proof of exact loss. The supplier has a chop on the signature page — the red seal that actually binds a Chinese company.

Common Questions

Why do China contracts need to be bilingual?

Chinese courts conduct proceedings in Mandarin. A contract only in English, or one where the English version governs, may not be accepted or enforced by a Chinese court. Bilingual contracts with a Chinese governing clause are the standard for enforceable agreements with Chinese suppliers.

Which contract do I need for my situation?

Start with a China Supplier Contract Guide: if you're sharing designs with a new factory — NNN Agreement. Starting production — OEM Supply Agreement or Manufacturing Contract. Developing a new product — Product Development Agreement. Setting up distribution — Exclusive Distribution Agreement. Appointing a sales agent — Sales Agency Agreement.

Are these templates suitable for small importers?

Yes. These templates are designed for Western buyers of all sizes — from individual importers placing their first order to procurement teams at established companies. The bracketed fill-in format makes customization straightforward.

Do I still need a lawyer?

Yes, for any agreement before you sign it. These templates give you a professional, lawyer-grade starting point that costs $37–$57 instead of $300–$1,500 per draft. You still use a lawyer to review and finalize — but you come in with 80% of the work done.
