China did not allow the import of cosmetics not tested on animals

Beijing. Jul 12. Silkroadnews - Chinese authorities denied reaching any agreement with Cruelty Free International on allowing foreign cosmetics companies to sell their products in China without having to undergo animal tests, the Global Times wrote.
“We did not reach an agreement with any international organization and our management is based on regulations published in 2014,” the agency quoted saying by one of the officials from the Food and Drug Administration of China.
The other day the Financial Review reported that Cruelty Free International, an animal rights group that is trying to secure a ban on laboratory tests on rabbits, signed an agreement with the Chinese authorities in late June that would allow foreign cosmetics companies to sell their products without having to undergo animal testing on their products.
In 2014, China introduced the stipulating that non-specialized cosmetics produced in China could avoid toxicological testing after going through risk and safety checks. But imported cosmetics are not covered in the proposal.
