Representative offices are governed by the Procedures for the Registration and Administration of Resident Representative Offices of Foreign Enterprises in China and the Detailed Rules of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation for the Implementation of the Provisional Regulations Governing the Examination, Approval and Administration of Representative Offices of Foreign Enterprises.

Registration
Unlike many other countries, Representative Offices in China are subject to registration requirements. A filing must be made with the local Administration for Industry and Commerce, which, if successful, will issue an Approval Certificate for the Representative Office. Thereafter, a number of filings with other authorities such as the Foreign Exchange Bureau, Public Security Bureau, Customs Bureau and Tax Bureau must be made. Registration is generally valid for only three years and application must be made prior to expiration for renewal of the term.

It is important to note that in order to establish an RO in China, it is necessary to establish a physical office space (in cities such as Shanghai, only certain commercial buildings may be used to register ROs).
