If you want to register (with a view to exporting) non-animal tested cosmetics in China, you need documentary evidence that the product will be manufactured under international Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) conditions applicable to the cosmetics industry. China only accepts this documentary evidence if it comes from a government authority. To help with this, MBIE has created a two-step process.

This page describes the trade regulatory system administered by MBIE, and its objectives.

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) produces voluntary guidelines and recommendations on responsible, sustainable multi-national business conduct.

Some trade agreements have provisions relating to trade remedies.
