Cross-border e-commerce platforms generally require sellers to provide Hong Kong pharmaceutical licences and import and export licences as evidence of their legal eligibility to sell medicines. Sellers should prepare all required qualification documents, including pharmaceutical licences, import and export licences and product registration certificates, and proactively cooperate with the platform’s qualification review process. Rengangyongsheng (Hong Kong) Limited recommends establishing a standardised qualification management system to ensure that documents are accurate, valid and updated promptly in response to platform requirements, thereby improving the prospects for successful cooperation and the level of business compliance.
