Export Notifications

The PIC Regulation applies to a specific list of chemical substances, and to mixtures containing such chemicals at a concentration triggering labelling obligations under the CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, and to articles containing these chemicals in an unreacted form.

Where a chemical listed in Annex I to the PIC Regulation is exported, whether on its own, or in a mixture, or in an article, then there is an obligation to notify prior to the actual export.

Exporters based in an EU Member State must 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. (Hence there will be maximum one notification per exporter per year, per origin and destination country pair).

The public details of all such notifications are available in this dataset here. Details of the export notifications are published in several views, for convenience, as follows:

Export notifications

The export notifications view shows all public export notifications, giving the identity of the chemical / mixture / article exported (if public, or an alias if not public), the type of exported material (chemical / mixture / article), the origin and destination countries, the export year. Clicking on the identity shown links to more details.

These additional details will show the content(s) of the exported material subject to PIC, and the foreseen category(ies) of use. For example, in the case of a mixture if there are three constituents listed in PIC Annex I then all three will be shown.

Summary by year

This view gives an overview of export notifications made by year.

Summary by origin

This view gives an overview of export notifications made by country of origin – i.e. by EU member state.

Summary by destination

This view gives an overview of export notifications made by country of destination – i.e. by the non-EU country to which the export was made.

Summary by month

This view gives an overview of export notifications made by calendar month.

User Interface

In all data views, if relevant, it is possible to use the following controls:

• Summary – giving informative counts based on the results presented; either the full dataset or a filtered set of search results.
• Search – allowing filtering by various search criteria. Criteria include:
  • Export administrative details – search by the identity of the exported material, its type, origin, destination, or export year.
  • Substance identity – search by any substance identifier of any kind (e.g. EC, CAS, Index number, IUPAC, CAS, or other names, etc.)
  • Foreseen use(s) – search by the indicated use of the exported material, Industrial or Pesticide use.
  • PIC Annexes, parts, and legal acts – search by the PIC Annexes and / or parts which apply to a substance, the legal act(s) applicable to a substance, or the dates within which a substance was subject to PIC.
  • Multiple search criteria provided will be combined with AND logic, meaning that the search will return results where all of the selected criteria are true.
• Export – allowing the set of results presented to be exported in various formats, XLSX, CSV, or XML.
• Feedback – linking to the appropriate ECHA contact form so questions or comments can be sent to the ECHA helpdesk.
• Help – opening a modal popup window with some information about the data presented and the options to interact with the data.
