Bill overview
The Ejiao Act of 2025 prohibits the import, sale, and purchase of donkeys and their hides for the production of ejiao, a traditional Chinese medicine and cosmetic product. It also prohibits the sale and purchase of products containing ejiao. The bill aims to address the devastating decline of donkey populations globally, particularly in Africa and Latin America, driven by the demand for ejiao skin and its impact on impoverished communities. The Act seeks to curb this trade through penalties and forfeiture of related goods.
