Guo Xiaoyu said at the symposium that PMTAs applications for brands are time-consuming, expensive, and difficult to pass. In comparison, supply chain PMTAs (TPMF) have the advantages of short application cycles and relatively low costs. More importantly, if a technology or solution in the supply chain successfully applies for TPMF, the products that cooperate with it can enter the US market in compliance, which is very attractive to cooperating brands.

Kurt Yang, relying on his rich experience in personally participating in PMTAs applications for many years, explained the application process of TPMF from a professional perspective, and explained its significance and role for core suppliers of e-cigarettes, heated cigarettes, and nicotine bags. At the end of the meeting, many participants asked Kurt Yang questions about TPMF applications. With his profound professionalism, Kurt Yang gave professional and key answers to each question, further clarifying the doubts of participating companies and helping them better understand the key points of TPMF applications, thereby laying a more solid foundation for subsequent related work.
