ChineseAgent is the international-facing arm of the E-HENG Group – first-generation, privately owned, and operating from Shanghai's Bund since 2000.
ChineseAgent offers foreign scientific startups the invaluable resource of an intermediary to facilitate establishing a foothold in China. Serving frequently as the initial partner within the Chinese market, we assist companies in refining their entry strategies to align with their business plans in this region. With a keen understanding of the distinct challenges faced by our clients, our primary objective for every engagement is to simplify and expedite our customers' market entry process into China.
Launched in 2020, ChineseAgent leverages the strong network of E-HENG's customers to provide foreign high-tech companies with the capability to penetrate and develop the Chinese market. As an integral part of the E-HENG Group, we draw on over 25 years of experience helping clients through every step from market research, strategy, and outreach to sales execution and logistics management. We not only assist new entrants in opening the Chinese market, but also help enterprises dissatisfied with their current distribution channels find better solutions.
Our company name “易恒” — pronounced E-Heng in Chinese — means adaptability with endurance or constancy. It is also used in forming “贸易”, which means trade in Chinese.
Independently established in 2000, the E-HENG Group has more than two decades of experience in helping multinational companies do business in China. Headquartered on the Bund in Shanghai, we are one of the largest and earliest private import and export companies in China.
Utilizing this advantage, our team at ChineseAgent possesses the expertise and extensive connections in areas such as marketing, logistics management, finance, and legal affairs. We tailor and build our services to the unique goals and challenges of each client, ensuring a smooth and efficient market entry into China.
E-HENG's earliest services mainly focused on import and export agency and international logistics — as a result, many multinational companies are our customers. E-HENG TECH mainly focuses on the sale of imported products; its key partners include Thermo Fisher Scientific, PerkinElmer, ZEISS, Agilent Technologies, Shimadzu Corporation, Sartorius, Novasep, Hamilton Company, MB Dynamics, Concurrent Technologies Corporation, HEAD acoustics, PCB Piezotronics, MTS Systems, and Canon Electron.
ChineseAgent, utilizing the many networks and resources already established through E-HENG with these international conglomerates, focuses on helping newer and smaller high-tech companies quickly enter the Chinese market.

As an integral part of the E-HENG Group, ChineseAgent draws on more than two decades of import / export expertise, customs fluency, and trusted relationships with Chinese authorities, distributors, and end customers.
