Taiwan’s Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) has amended its chemical control law ‘Toxic Chemical Substances Control Act (TCSCA)’ and renamed it 'Toxic Chemicals and Concerned Substances Control Act (TCCSCA).' This regulation came into force on January 1, 2020."

Companies that manufacture or import Existing Chemical Substance in an annual amount of 100 kilograms or more need to apply for Phase One Registration within 6 months from the date of exporting. Furthermore, if the chemical is in a quantity that is above 1 tonne per year or more and falls under the list of 106 Priority Existing Chemicals (PECs) then companies need to do a Standard Registration. 

In the case of Confidential Business Information (CBI), exporters to Taiwan should communicate with their buyers and register via a Third Party Representative (TPR). 

As a TPR, GPC  can communicate in the supply chain on behalf of your company and also assist you with Phase One & Standard Registration. 

If you have any further questions on TCCSCA compliance, please contact our Regulatory Manager Chia-Sui Hsu at jess@tw.gpcregulatory.com
