One membership manages all your China affairs: outbound and inbound run in parallel all year, with concierge-level response — activated the day you join.
Once China operations become routine — sourcing in spring, an audit before peak season, a licence renewal, a trade-fair trip — running everything project by project costs more than a managed China desk. The VIP membership is that desk: a dedicated manager, a priority response lane and an annual task allowance covering liaison work across all nine services.
Two tiers exist because buyers differ: Standard suits companies with frequent, mostly outbound purchasing tasks; Premium runs both directions in parallel year-round with concierge-level response. Membership activates the day you join, and every task still flows through the same portal trail — nothing about membership changes the evidence discipline, it only changes the speed and the priority. Fees are annual and fixed at signing; third-party costs inside any task (a factory audit's travel, a licence's official fee) still pass through at actual cost with receipts, exactly as for project clients. Renewal benefits are locked at your original tier. And the standing rule is unchanged: we are a service company — your goods, your funds and your accounts stay yours.
