General information

To facilitate the submission of notifications of final regulatory action and the implementation of Article 5 of the Convention, the Secretariat has developed the following two options:

  1. An on-line import response form that guides users through each section and provides assistance in completing it such as pointing to further sources of information.
  2. A Word version of the form and instructions:
    3. Import response forms: English French Spanish
    Instructions: English French Spanish

The completed forms should be dated and signed by the DNA and submitted to the Secretariat.

Parties have an ongoing obligation to submit to the Secretariat, as soon as possible and in any event no later than nine months after the date of dispatch of a decision guidance document, their decision (whether a final or interim response) concerning the future import of a chemical listed under the Convention. When a Party changes an import decision submitted previously to the Secretariat, the Designated National Authority should submit a revised import response as soon as possible.
