| Subject | Radical simplification of the procedures for the import of the products containing poisonous and deleterious substances for testing and experimental purposes | ||
| Details of Measures | It was explained that when an operator who is not registered as authorized to handle poisonous and deleterious substances imports poisonous and deleterious substances for any purpose except the purpose of sale or donation such as for experimental and research use, it is necessary to confirm the purpose of use, the research program, and other details at the time of import to prevent any harmful effect to the public health and that it is sufficient in this case to fill in the forms provided for this purpose. It was further explained that exclusive proprietary products are exempted from the regulations of the Poisonous and Deleterious Substances Control Law but that, for example, semiconductor wafers and other materials prior to the product stage are simply sliced raw materials and are therefore not considered exclusive proprietary products and would therefore be subject to the Poisonous and Deleterious Substances Control Law if the material itself is a poisonous or deleterious substance. |
