EU REACH registration-those things about the impact of Brexit and registrants!

Release time:

2020-08-10 17:32

The UK will leave the EU on 31 January 2020. From 1 February 2020, the transition period under the Withdrawal Agreement applies until 31 December 2020, unless a decision is taken to extend the transition period. During the transition period, EU law continues to apply in the UK. Regarding REACH registration, there are still more than 4 months to go before Britain legally completes Brexit. If your current OR is in Britain, please take action as soon as possible to transfer OR from Britain to other EU countries before the end of this year, otherwise you will not be able to export products to EU countries. For specific information, please refer to the following link:

We are willing to provide OR transfer service for everyone and become your new OR. Regarding REACH registration, please contact us for advice.

 

In addition, several customers recently asked us a common question about REACH registrants. We have made a small case study to discuss this issue and now share it with you.

 

Our domestic customer A is a domestic trading company and has had in-depth communication with their European customer B. European customer B agrees with the quality and price of their products and has reached the initial contract stage. However, the legal department of European customer B requires domestic customer A to have a REACH registration certificate before signing a formal contract. Therefore, domestic customer A asks us whether they can do REACH registration.

 

Friends who know about REACH registration regulations must know that in this case, domestic customer A cannot register REACH in the name of its own company, because there are three types of REACH registrants, one is European manufacturers, the other is European importers, and the third is non-EU manufacturers. In the third case, manufacturers must also pass the only representative in the EU (Only Representative,OR) to fulfill the registration obligations required by the EU REACH Regulation. Therefore, only Chinese manufacturers, I .e. factories, can be REACH registrants, and Chinese traders cannot be REACH registrants. So how to solve this problem?

 

In fact, China's trading companies can have the following ways to deal:

1. The establishment of branches in EU countries and REACH registration by EU branches have the advantage that it is conducive to the confidentiality of corporate information. In addition, through this branch, you can also purchase products from other competitors and understand relevant price information. It has certain trade advantages, but it is costly and has a long cycle. It requires enterprises to balance the pros and cons.

2. Look for buyers who have done REACH registration, or let EU buyers do REACH registration. The cost can be negotiated in the project, which can save a lot of energy, but it may cause information leakage and the binding with buyers is not strong.

3. Holding the factory, or signing an authorization agreement with the factory, the factory will find the OR of the European Union to assist in completing the REACH registration, and then complete the trade of chemicals exported to the European Union. The key point of this method is how to negotiate with the factory and deal with the relationship with the factory. This method is relatively low cost, if the relationship with the factory is good, can be a long-term stable solution.
