ePing is an online alert system designed to help government agencies and small and medium-sized enterprises keep track of the latest information on regulatory requirements for international trade. It provides free, timely updates on new sanitary and phytosanitary measures and technical barriers to trade in countries around the world. It also facilitates dialogue among the public and private sector in addressing potential trade problems at an early stage. Users of ePing will be able to easily keep up-to-date with notifications affecting foreign markets and products of particular interest to them.
