China Eases Battery, Steel Scrap Import Rules to Aid Green Push
China is relaxing import regulations on scrap, a move that will support recycling of battery metals and help speed the green transition in the steel market. The government said on Monday it will permit imports of some battery scrap, known as ' black mass,' from August, which will provide more feedstock for a recycling sector that is struggling with overcapacity. It will also loosen requirements for shipments of steel scrap, which were first allowed in 2021.

Taiwan lifts cattle age restriction on beef imports from Japan
Taiwan has lifted restrictions on beef imports from Japan by eliminating the 30-month age limit for cattle. Taiwan's Food and Drug Administration announced the revision to import regulations on Thursday, with the change taking immediate effect. Taiwan banned all imports of Japanese beef after Japan reported an outbreak of BSE, or mad cow disease, in 2001. The ban was partially lifted after safety was confirmed in 2017, allowing imports of beef from cattle no more than 30 months old. Under the latest revision, Taiwan will continue to require the removal of specific parts, such as the brain and spinal cord. But the lifting of the age restriction is expected to expand the market for Japanese beef.
