Vendor Facing Website

How can I access the Vendor Facing Website?
For Import Agents: Access is provided following the New Agent Package submission.
For Domestic Suppliers/Manufacturers: Access is provided after you receive the Final Approval Package from LDB’s Regulatory Department.
Once you have received your login credentials, you can register products here.
