Optimization of Import and Export Management for Low-Concentration Triethanolamine Mixtures

The Chinese government has decided to optimize the import and export management of controlled chemicals from February 1, 2024, in accordance with the Regulations of the People's Republic of China on the Administration of Controlled Chemicals and the Implementation Rules. This will include the optimization of regulatory measures for low-concentration triethanolamine mixtures. Consumer commodities with low triethanolamine content, such as non-medical disinfectants, synthetic detergents, cosmetics, and inks, have controllable proliferation risks and do not belong to controlled items under triethanolamine and triethanolamine mixture in the Catalogue for the Administration of Import and Export Licenses of Dual-use Items and Technologies. There is no need to go through approval procedures or apply for licenses for dual-use items and technologies.
