Feb 20,2025
In 2025, the global trade landscape will change, and several countries such as Japan, the United States, Thailand and others will issue trade bans or adjust trade restrictions, like boulders put into the lake of international trade, causing ripples. For relevant enterprises, these policy changes affect the whole body and affect the rise and fall of enterprises, and it is imperative to pay timely attention and effectively respond.
Japan has taken an important step in environmental protection and chemicals control. The Ministry of Health, Labour, Economy, Industry and Environment jointly issued a draft that lists 138 perfluorocarbons as the first class of specific chemical substances, which will be completely banned from manufacturing, importing and using, and the import of products containing these substances will also be called off. The Japanese government has been "on the lookout" for such substances because they are difficult to decompose, accumulate easily, and pose a long-term toxic risk. This is nothing short of a challenge for companies involved in chemical, textile, electronics and other industries.
The United States has frequently made "big moves" in energy, food, technology, agriculture and other fields. On energy policy, the Biden administration's indefinite ban on the exploitation of more than 625 million acres of coastal waters for oil and natural gas has been lifted by Trump, but the uncertainty of energy policy is still frightening to the companies involved. In terms of food regulation, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has banned the use of red 3 dye in food and ingestible drugs because of its carcinogenic risk, which makes enterprises in food processing, pharmaceutical and other industries need to review product formulations.
In the field of science and technology, the US Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) upgraded export controls on biotechnology equipment, prohibiting the export of high-parameter flow cytometry and specific mass spectrometry equipment to China and other countries; The Biden administration has also banned the sale or import of connected cars that integrate specific hardware and software supplied by entities "under the jurisdiction or command of a foreign adversary," directly placing "roadblocks" on Chinese auto companies' journeys to the United States.
In agriculture, Nebraska took the lead in banning the production or sale of lab-grown meat, and several states have similar moves or labeling requirements, which forced companies engaged in R & D production to redesign their markets.
Recently, US Senator Josh Hawley proposed the "American AI Ability and China Decoupling" bill, The import of China's DeepSeek technology is prohibited, and after 180 days, the import and export transfer of related technology and intellectual property rights will be fully prohibited. Companies that violate the law will face heavy penalties, and the cross-border cooperation and trade of AI-related companies will be overshadowed.
Thailand has banned the import of plastic waste, a move that affects enterprises in such industries as plastic recycling and recycling resources. Vietnam stopped importing e-cigarettes from the same day; From 2018 to 2021, Thailand imported a large amount of plastic waste to develop the plastic recycling industry, and although the ban has special approval from the Ministry of Industry, relevant enterprises still need to actively transform and find new raw material supply channels or business directions.
The Netherlands strengthened export controls on semiconductor production equipment from 15 January; The city of Amsterdam has banned environmentally polluting yachts from the city's central waterways since April 1.
The United Kingdom banned the import of German-related meat and dairy products from January 14 due to cases of German mouth and foot disease.
