In addition to the notification requirement, the export of chemicals included in parts 2 and 3 of Annex I to the PIC Regulation are also subject to the existence of a valid explicit consent provided by the designated national authority of the importing country outside the EU. 

It is possible to search for Explicit Consents based on the chemical/mixture name, importing and or exporting country, category of use, date of request, validity start and end date, and status. A refined search is possible by using multiple search criteria.

Note: the United Kingdom has withdrawn from the European Union on the 31 January 2020. However, in accordance with the withdrawal agreement, the United Kingdom continues to comply with the PIC regulation until the end of the transition period (31 December 2020). Therefore, the United Kingdom remains listed here as an “Exporting Member State”.
