On November 10, 2025, five government bodies—the Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of Emergency Management, General Administration of Customs, and National Medical Products Administration—jointly issued an announcement. In line with the Interim Provisions on the Administration of the Export of Precursor Chemicals to Particular Countries (Regions), updates have been made to both the Catalog of Precursor Chemicals Subject to Export Control and the List of Specific Countries (Regions). These changes are intended to strengthen oversight of precursor chemical exports.
Key Update: The United States, Mexico, and Canada have now been added to the List of Specific Countries (Regions).
