ACBC VIC & ACBC NSW – China Law Update: The End of Animal Testing on Imported Cosmetics

China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) has recently confirmed its regulations on animal testing exemptions. The new regulations state that, as of May 2021, companies from selected countries are allowed to import general cosmetics into China without undergoing mandatory animal testing.

These regulatory changes are detailed and will have varying implications for different categories of products.

ACBC Vic and ACBC NSW are pleased to host Mark Schaub (Senior Partner, King & Wood Mallesons), Edwina Kwan (Partner, King & Wood Mallesons) and Christina Su (Co-Founder, Bayeco Skincare) to address these important regulatory changes, with a focus on the consequences and opportunities for the cosmetics sector.

This online event will provide opportunities for companies to ask questions and discuss these regulatory changes with experts on the ground in China.
