Mandatory additional qualifiers in import/export declarations in respect of certain products

Mandatory additional qualifiers require CAS and IUPAC details or a supplier-confidentiality declaration for chemical shipment declarations.

Import declarations for specified chemical chapters must state the Chemical Category and provide constituent identifiers: Bulk and Basic Chemicals require CAS number and IUPAC name; Formulations and Mixtures and Proprietary/R&D/Others require at least one Main/Active ingredient's CAS number and IUPAC name (or either identifier where allowed). If supplier confidentiality prevents provision of CAS/IUPAC details, the importer must submit a self-undertaking in the bill of entry. Declared constituents will be printed as masked fields and these qualifiers supplement existing declaration requirements.
