We understand how Chinese freeze investigations actually work.
Frozen fund cases in China involve multiple layers - public security bureaus, banks, third-party platforms, and sometimes courts. Most overseas advisors have no visibility into how these processes work on the ground.
We operate from inside China. We know the procedural steps, the documentation standards, and how to communicate with the relevant institutions in a way that actually moves things forward. This is not general legal advice - it is hands-on case handling built on real experience.
We work strictly within the bounds of Chinese law. Our goal is to minimise your losses and unfreeze your funds as quickly as the legal process allows. Every case is different - the outcome depends on the specific facts, the authority involved, and the evidence available - but we bring every tool and every contact we have to move your case forward as fast as possible.
Once resolved, working with a China sourcing agent from the start reduces the risk of ending up in this position again.
Don't wait. The sooner you act, the more options you have.
Tell us what happened and what's been frozen. We'll assess the situation and tell you exactly what can be done.
Common questions about frozen funds in China
Why are my funds frozen in China?
Funds are typically frozen in China because the transaction was flagged in connection with a telecom fraud investigation, a money laundering case, or suspicious cross-border transfer activity. Chinese public security bureaus and banks can freeze accounts and funds without advance notice while an investigation is ongoing.
How long does it take to unfreeze USDT or a bank card in China?
The timeline depends on the type of freeze, the authority involved, and the strength of your documentation. Simple cases can sometimes be resolved in weeks. Complex cases involving active criminal investigations can take months. Acting quickly with the right documentation significantly improves the outcome.
What should I do first if my USDT or bank card is frozen in China?
Do not move any remaining funds without legal guidance — this can make things worse. Gather all evidence of the transaction: contracts, chat records, invoices, payment receipts, and any communication with the other party. Then contact us so we can assess the case before any action is taken.
Can an overseas buyer get frozen funds back from China?
Yes, in many cases. The key is demonstrating that the funds originated from a legitimate transaction and that you are not connected to the activity that triggered the freeze. We prepare the documentation, handle communication with the relevant Chinese authorities, and manage the unfreezing process on your behalf.
Do I need a lawyer in China to unfreeze my funds?
For complex cases, legal representation may be required. We work with qualified legal professionals and handle the full process — documentation, submission, follow-up, and representation where needed. You do not need to navigate this alone or find a Chinese lawyer yourself.
What is the difference between a USDT freeze and a bank card freeze in China?
A USDT freeze typically involves a platform-level hold ordered by Chinese authorities in connection with a crypto-related investigation. A bank card freeze is imposed by the bank itself or by a public security bureau order. Both require different approaches to resolve, and both are cases we handle regularly.
