China is still developing under special economic conditions, which make the administration of enterprise and international trade different from elsewhere. Factories and plants engaged in processing sharks are limited by labour force, environmental requirements and other relevant factors. Most originated in Hong Kong or other Southeast Asian countries. Except for four or five of them, they are small factories or workshops. They lack knowledge about species identification and most of them are not allowed to deal directly with imports and exports, as they do not have permission to engage international trade. All international trade has to be dealt with by professional agents who have the right to import and export. The names of companies that were engaged in imports and exports of sharks or their products in 1997 and 1998, according to Chinese Customs data, are the only ones available. These may not correspond with enterprises that are involved in shark processing.
