On March 1, 2022, China's General Administration of Customs (GAC) issued Order No. 257, announcing the repeal of several regulations including the Measures for the supervision and administration of inspection of imported coatings. The Order was effective immediately.
Under the previous regulation, the filing application shall be submitted to the filing agency at least 2 months before the coating is imported.
