Pre-announcement of Enforcement Ordinance for Chemicals Control Act

MOE pre-announced a revision draft for the Enforcement Ordinance for Chemicals Control Act. In a bid to improve the system for managing imported chemicals, the draft simplifies the procedures for import permission and declaration for restricted substances which are toxic substances. Under the current Enforcement Ordinance, a person willing to import restricted substances which are toxic substances must obtain permission for the restricted substances and make a declaration for the toxic substances, respectively. However, under the draft the person is exempt from the declaration of import for these substances. (Article 10 Item 3 Exemption from Permission to Import Restricted Substances and Reporting on Importation of Toxic Substances)
