Export notification procedure
Exporters based in an EU Member State have to notify their intentions to export certain chemicals to a non-EU country. This applies to the chemicals listed in Part 1 of Annex I to the PIC Regulation. Exporters have to notify the designated national authority of the country from which the export will originate before the first yearly export takes place, as well as before the first export in each subsequent calendar year.
The main elements of the data requirements for an export notification include:
Identity of the substance, mixture or article to be exported. Typically this is the EC number, CAS number and the chemical name as listed in the Regulation
Information on the export, such as country of origin, country of destination, expected date of first yearly export, estimated amount to be exported, intended use in the country of destination, name and address of exporter and importer
Information on precautions to be taken
Summary of physico-chemical, toxicological and ecotoxicological properties
The uses of the chemical in the EU
Summary of regulatory restrictions and reasons for them
In addition to the export notification, most of these listed chemicals (excluding Alpha-cypermethrin, Bromadiolone and Metam-sodium) will also require an explicit consent from the importing country before exports can take place.
