South Korea updates the Enforcement Decree of the Chemical Control Act
The Ministry of Environment (MoE) in South Korea updated the ‘Enforcement Decree of the Chemical Control Act (CCA)’ on November 15th, 2022. This update is mainly on import reporting procedures for substances categorized as both restricted substances and toxic substances.
Before the update, if a substance categorized as both restricted substances and toxic substances, importers of the substance should get import permit for restricted substances (based on CCA Article 20-1) and import reporting for toxic substances (based on CCA Article 20-2), respectively. After the amendment, if importers get import permit for restricted substances, it can be exempted from import reporting for toxic substances. This is to reduce the burden on chemical importers from dual import procedure.
The amendment came into effect immediately.
