Abstract
There are eight main markets that can be considered, Australia, New Zealand, China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, India, and ASEAN Countries. You will note that ASEAN Countries include the Governments of Brunei Darussalam, the Kingdom of Cambodia, the Republic of Indonesia, the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Malaysia, the Union of Myanmar, the Republic of the Philippines, the Republic of Singapore, the Kingdom of Thailand and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
Apart from the differences in population and wealth each of these eight have different regulations mainly caused by which government department administers the regulations and it would be fair to say that a product that is approved by one may not be approved by another.
Williams' paper uncovers the regulatory anomalies in all of these markets
