Taiwan’s Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) has published the modification of the fee structure for chemical registration on April 7, 2021. In response to the international trend of reducing the use of animal testing, the registration fee of those based on the designated non-animal testing alternatives is adjusted from NTD 50,000 to 37,000.
After public consultation, the EPA also decides to reduce the application fee for extending the confidentiality period and simplified registration.
Under the TCCSCA, registrants can apply for CBI for items such as information on the registrant, manufacturing/import information, use information and chemical identities. The valid period for CBI is two years for simplified registration and small quantity registration and five years for standard registration.
Below is the updated government fee structure for chemical registration in Taiwan.
