When Customs recordal is useful

If you manufacture branded products in China for export, or import branded goods into China, Customs recordal gives officers information about your registered mark, genuine products and authorised parties. Product and packaging photos help show what genuine shipments look like.

For example, a cosmetics brand with a valid Chinese registration in Class 3 can provide its registered logo, photos of genuine packaging and details of its authorised factory. Recordal supports Customs identification of suspected infringement. Handling a particular shipment or detention requires separate work.

China Customs Trademark Recordal — common questions

Can I file while my trademark application is pending?

You can order once the trademark is validly registered and protected in China for the goods concerned.

Can I use a Madrid international registration?

Yes, if the mark is protected in China for the goods concerned. Submit a separate recordal item for each goods class.

Can my factory apply under its own name?

The recordal is made in the registered owner’s name. Supply your factory and licence details so the authorised relationship can be documented.

How much does it cost to record the same mark in two classes?

Two goods classes cost USD 398 at the standard rate of USD 199 per trademark and goods class.

Can this service handle a shipment already held by Customs?

A detained shipment requires separate handling. Send us the notice and shipment details through the client portal.
