Jinan High-Tech Zone has introduced an integrated administrative service model for veterinary drug business licensing as part of its ongoing efforts to improve the local business environment.

Under the initiative, known as the “One-Stop Service” model, separate licensing procedures are integrated into a coordinated application and review process. By reducing documentation requirements, consolidating approval procedures, and coordinating on-site inspections, the initiative aims to improve administrative efficiency and make licensing more convenient for veterinary pharmaceutical businesses.

Recently, a veterinary drug company in Jinan High-Tech Zone successfully completed two licensing procedures through this integrated model: one for veterinary biological products under provincial-level administrative authority and another for non-veterinary biological products under district-level authority. The company received a veterinary drug business license covering both business scopes.

1. Integrating Provincial and District-Level Licensing Procedures

Jinan High-Tech Zone handles veterinary drug business licensing matters under both provincial and district-level administrative authorities.

Previously, businesses applying for the two types of licenses had to follow separate procedures, prepare application documents independently, and undergo separate on-site reviews.

The integrated “One-Stop Service” model brings the two licensing matters together through a coordinated process, enabling applications to be submitted through a unified service channel and reviewed simultaneously.

This approach focuses on four key areas: application documentation, approval procedures, processing time, and on-site assessment.

2. Four Measures to Reduce Administrative Burdens

Reduced documentation requirements. The number of application documents required for the two separate licensing procedures has been reduced from 24 to 12, representing a 50% reduction. This helps minimize repetitive document preparation and administrative work for businesses.

Simplified approval procedures. The original six processing steps have been consolidated into three core stages, eliminating duplicated reviews and unnecessary verification procedures.

Shorter processing time. The statutory approval period of 40 working days has been reduced to a committed processing time of four working days, significantly improving licensing efficiency.

Coordinated on-site assessment. Under the “One Visit, Parallel Review” approach, experts conduct a single on-site inspection covering both licensing matters. Once the assessment is completed successfully, the company can receive a veterinary drug business license covering both veterinary biological products and non-veterinary biological products.

This coordinated approach reduces repeated inspections and the time businesses need to spend on administrative procedures.

3. Improving Business Convenience for Veterinary Pharmaceutical Companies

For veterinary drug distributors and other related businesses, obtaining the appropriate business licenses is an essential step in establishing and expanding operations.

Simplified licensing procedures can reduce the time required for document preparation, administrative coordination, and on-site inspections. This allows businesses to allocate more resources to daily operations, customer development, and market expansion.

According to the company representative, the original expectation was that the two licenses would require separate applications, multiple sets of documents, and coordination with different administrative procedures. Through the integrated service model, however, the company only needed to submit one consolidated application and undergo a single on-site inspection before obtaining a license covering both business scopes.

The shorter processing time has enabled the company to focus more on its business operations and market development.

Conclusion

The integrated veterinary drug licensing service is a practical measure introduced by Jinan High-Tech Zone to streamline administrative procedures and improve the efficiency of government services.

By coordinating provincial and district-level licensing matters, reducing documentation requirements, and combining on-site assessments, the initiative makes the licensing process more efficient and accessible for veterinary pharmaceutical businesses.

As administrative service reforms continue, more standardized and integrated procedures can help reduce administrative costs, support compliant business operations, and contribute to the sustainable development of the regional veterinary pharmaceutical industry.
