CIRS’s Comments
China imposes strict regulatory management on precursor chemicals. Recently, it is required to provide full name of the buyer when purchasing medicines for cold with ephedrine ingredients. Since the Catalogue of Classification and Varieties of Precursor Chemicals is updates regularly, CIRS suggest companies shall pay more attention to this catalogue and know clearly about the responsibilities and liabilities.
