Companies now importing under UK REACH must notify the HSE that they wish to continue to import substances into the UK from Europe, using a Downstream User Import Notification (DUIN), by 27th October 2021.
The DUIN is done on the UK REACH IT portal "Comply with UK REACH".
To do this, you will need a number of pieces of information:
For imports of 1 to 10 tonnes per year:
For imports of more than 10 tonnes per year, in addition to the above information:
Once the notification has been made, it is still necessary to complete the registration according to the deadlines valid after the end of the DUIN submission period and according to your tonnage bands.
28th October 2023 for:
28th October 2025 for:
28th October 2027 for:
If companies choose not to submit a notification, they will have to either complete a full registration or cease all imports. Although UK REACH has retained the same principles and requirements as European REACH, the registration process is quite lengthy and we recommend that you go through DUIN to save time.
NB: To facilitate this, it is also possible to appoint an OR (Only Representative) based in the UK to submit notifications.
