Avon In China
Avon Products Inc., the world's largest door-to-door cosmetics distributor, said this month that Avon Products (China) Co. Ltd. received the first direct-selling business license in that country after an eight-year ban.
Avon China now can roll out its previously tested single-level direct-selling model nationwide. The permit was issued in February.
China banned direct sales in 1998, saying it was hard for consumers to tell the difference between legitimate sales networks and fraudulent pyramid schemes. However, the government issued rules to regulate direct sales in December, clearing the way for Avon and other companies to apply for licenses.
