Concerning the importers who have demands of selling imported alcohol during the nine-day-long Chinese New Year holiday （January 25 to February 2）, the NTA has communicated to relevant units that the inspection of samples of imported alcohol that have already been sent to the laboratory must be sped up and completed before the holidays.

In addition, the inspection of imported alcohol which is submitted for release-after-documentary examination will be completed before January 24 in principle, except for special cases. Furthermore, please contact +886 2 2322-8489 for any emergency issues.

The NTA also explained that the inspection system of imported alcohol has been implemented since January 1, 2006. From approximately 10 thousand cases in 2006 to more than 90 thousand cases in 2024. Despite this, the NTA will continue to improve inspection effectiveness and protect sanitary security of alcohol consumption.
