Understanding PIC

The Prior Informed Consent (PIC) Regulation governs the trade of certain hazardous chemicals that are banned or severely restricted in the EU. It places obligations on companies that wish to export these chemicals to non-EU countries or import them into the EU. PIC implements the Rotterdam Convention within the EU. It promotes shared responsibility and cooperation in the international trade of hazardous chemicals. It also protects human health and the environment by providing importing countries with information on how to store, transport, use, and dispose of hazardous chemicals safely. The PIC Regulation has been in force since March 1, 2014.

Annex I of the PIC Regulation listed chemicals that are banned or severely restricted, including:

  • Active substances in pesticides or in biocidal products such as disinfectants, insecticides or parasiticides;
  • Industrial chemicals; and
  • Chemicals that are banned for export from the EU and listed in Annex V to the PIC Regulation

Notifying exports and receiving export permission

Companies intending to export chemicals listed in PIC to non-EU countries, need to notify their intention to export and get permission for export before exporting.

Obligation of reporting

Each year, importers and exporters of PIC chemicals need to send information on the exact quantities of the chemical shipped to or from each non-EU country in the preceding year to the designated national authorities.
