Description
This document aims to outline best practices for managing Confidential Business Information (CBI) effectively and ensure the proper and successful use of Safety Data Sheets (SDS) at the border, mitigating the negative impacts on trade and business confidentiality arising from SDS disclosure requirements in APEC economies, and reducing potential non-tariff trade barriers in the region.
The resources from this document include knowledge gained during an in-person workshop on the margins of the 34th Chemical Dialogue in February 2025 and additional feedback from APEC economies regarding their CBI and SDS rules and regulations.
