Clinical Trials & Import of Veterinary Drugs

On 28.03.2019, the MOA (Ministry of Agriculture), published a notice regarding two administrative licensing items, which were abolished on 27.02.2019. First, the clinical trial approval of new veterinary drugs was changed to filing system. After completion of the laboratory study of the veterinary drug, the clinical trial can be carried out, without waiting for the approval of the authority. Second, the MOFCOM (Ministry of Commerce) no longer issues import licenses for veterinary biological products. It is no longer necessary for the Chinese import agent to provide such a copy when applying for customs clearance.
