Importing chemicals: CJEU rules who bears the burden of administrative work. Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulation is the EU’s main instrument to protect human health and the environment from the risks that can be posed by chemicals. The legislation places a registration obligation on the importer. However, the definitions of the importer and import under the REACH legislation do not align with the customs terminology. In our latest article, David Savage covers the recent European Court of Justice (CJEU) case C-654/22 ruling. The case highlights the importance of the right party to the transactions meeting the REACH registration obligation. It also answers the question of the timing of the registration obligation in cases where the goods are under a special procedure such as customs warehousing. The outcome of the case is of particular relevance to any company importing goods within the scope of REACH regulation. #CCRMjournal #REACH #customs #caselaw #EUlaw https://lnkd.in/dt45kW8f
