FAQ (frequently asked questions):

1. I purchased from a Chinese supplier and the goods have not been delivered until now. I feel I was cheated.

You can seek legal action against your supplier because they breached Chinese law.

Sending a lawyer's letter to the other party and negotiating with them to demand performance of the contract, payment of damages, payment of liquidated damages, or other corrective action is the quickest, most effective, and least expensive way to achieve this. Additionally, if the opposing party makes a mistake while the letter is being negotiated and admits it, that admission may be used as evidence in later litigation.

If the negotiation of a lawyer's letter fails, you can file a lawsuit against the supplier to demand a refund of the purchase price, compensation for damages and, after winning the support of the Chinese courts, request the court to execute the attachment of the other party's property.

2. The goods I received are not the same as the original agreement.

4. I'd like to know the credit status of the seller.
We advise you to hire a lawyer to perform a thorough background check on the supplier before engaging in an international trade transaction. This investigation should include registered capital, shareholder information, involvement in litigation, etc. Choosing a reliable supplier will help you lower your transaction risk.
5. Where should I sue?
The action is usually brought in the court where the defendant is located, as the defendant's property is usually located locally, in the local court, which makes it easier to ask the local court to execute the defendant's property if you win the case.
6. May I ask the counter party to pay attorney fee and litigation fee?

Litigation:

Litigation fees: The court will award litigation fees to both parties in proportion to their culpability.

Attorney's fees: Unless you and the other party have previously agreed that the defaulting party should pay the attorney's fees, the court will not uphold your request to refund attorney's fees.

Arbitration:

Attorney's fees:

If it is agreed in the contract signed by both parties, the costs of attorney's fees shall be borne by the agreed responsible party.

Arbitration Fees:

The arbitration institution will award arbitration fees to both parties in proportion to their culpability.

7. Whether my judgement can be executed?
In most cases, before going to court, we will advise you to compile a list of the opposing party's assets and ask the court to freeze that party's accounts to stop them from transferring their property so that, in the event that you win a judgement, you can ask the court to directly transfer the opposing party's assets.
8. What is the cost of resorting legal actions?

Depending on the amount of your claim, for example, if your claim is for USD100,000, the court fee you will need to pay is USD1,550, if your claim is for USD500,000, the court fee you will need to pay is USD5,000.

In addition, if the evidence you provide to the court contains non-Chinese language, a translation is required and the translation fee is related to the number of words to be translated, usually ranging from USD80-300. For travel expenses, we usually pay around USD700 for one business trip.

In the course of litigation, in order to prevent the other party from transferring its property, which would result in us winning the case but not receiving compensation, we can request the court to freeze the other party's property prior to litigation, which requires the payment of a preservation fee to the court and an insurance premium to the insurance company, the amount of which depends on the amount of the claim and usually ranges from USD100-400.

9. What if the defendant does not appear in court?
If cannot notify the defendant by normal methods, the court can notify by public announcement. After the notification, if the defendant still refuse or does not appear in court, the trial proceeded normally and the absence of the defendant from the courtroom would not affect the normal proceeding of the case.
