Time to submit the Annual Declaration under AICIS

It is time for registered importers or manufacturers who introduced industrial chemicals into Australia during the previous registration year to submit their annual declaration to the Australian Industrial Chemicals Introduction Scheme (AICIS). The deadline for submission is 30 November 2023. This applies to all chemical introductions, regardless of category, quantity, or number of chemicals. The annual declaration covers activities from 1 September 2022 to 31 August 2023.  

The annual declaration should include: 

• The introduction categories for the chemicals imported or manufactured during the registration year. 

• A declaration that all introductions were authorised in accordance with sections 25 to 30 of the Industrial Chemicals Act 2019. 

• It should also be noted that an agent or consultant cannot submit the annual declaration on behalf of a company.  

• A separate post-introduction declaration (PID) must be submitted for each chemical categorised as very low risk for human health and the environment that is introduced in a registration year. 

• A separate post-introduction declaration must be submitted for the total number of polymers of low concern (PLCs) introduced during the registration year and a separate declaration must be submitted for the number of low-concern biopolymers introduced during the registration year.
