Annual Reporting of PIC Chemicals Exports and Imports for 2023 Now Open

What Needs to Be Reported?

In accordance with Article 10 of the GB PIC Regulation, annual reporting must be completed within the first quarter of each year. This includes chemicals moved to or from Northern Ireland (NI). For EU exports and imports, companies are not required to specify the EU country, though indicating movements to or from NI is beneficial.

Exemptions from Reporting

Not all PIC chemical movements are subject to reporting. The following are exempt and should not be included in the annual report:

Exports under special reference identification number (RIN) in quantities not exceeding 10kg per year to each importing country for research or analysis purposes.Imports for research and analysis in quantities not exceeding 10kg per year from any country.

Only the actual quantity of the PIC chemical contained within mixtures or articles needs to be reported.

Submitting a NIL Return

If no exports for a certain PIC-listed chemical took place in 2023 for which an export notification was previously submitted, companies are expected to confirm such NIL returns.

How to Submit Your Report

Completed templates should be emailed to ukdna@hse.gov.uk by the deadline. In the subject line of the email, companies need to include the specific wording: "GB PIC - Annual Reporting - Article 10 - 2023 - [Your Company Name]."

Anonymised Data Publication

The HSE has committed to publishing non-confidential data, which will be anonymized and aggregated, on their website later in the year.
