Why do I need to find an agent to sell imported medical devices in China? Is there any explicit rules? The demand as specific as possible to answer thank you!

This is because the Chinese characteristics of the national conditions decided! Although foreign products are good, but not adapted to the Chinese market rules (subterfuge), it is often difficult to quickly open the domestic market. Local dealers, not only familiar with the market, more understanding of the rules of the game, more contacts, relationships! Without contacts and relationships, even the best things are not recognized! This is why the real reason to go through the agent.
