This is a question for a local lawyer with expertise in import/export law. You'd likely have no problem at all finding a lawyer or firm with experience and specialization in Chinese trade. They'd have not only knowledge of Chinese law, but infrastructure like local contacts and representatives in China. There are a number of such firms in California. In my experience legal advice from people that do not practice law is rarely helpful and potentially harmful.
