Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals (Administration) Regulations 1995

This regulation applies to the export of an export‑prohibited chemical if:

either:

the relevant item in Schedule 1 identifies the relevant international agreement or arrangement as the Rotterdam Convention; or

the chemical is research mercury; and

the export is to a party to that Convention.

It is a condition of a permission for the export that the exporter will:

include the Harmonized System customs code for the chemical (if assigned) on shipping documentation; and

ensure that the labelling of the chemical complies with relevant international standards (including standards requiring information regarding risks and hazards to human health and the environment); and

if the chemical is to be used for occupational purposes, give to the importer a safety data sheet that:

is in accordance with an internationally recognised format; and

sets out up‑to‑date information; and

if practicable, is in one of the official languages of the country to which the chemical is to be exported; and

give to the Department, on or before 28 February following each calendar year, a statement of the total quantity of the chemical exported in the calendar year, naming each importing country and specifying how much of the chemical was exported to each importing country.
