Service Description

Do you need a certificate to present to customs or an authority in a third country for the import of raw materials, mixtures containing raw materials or natural products? Then you can apply for a clearance certificate.

You need declarations of no objection so that your supplier in the third country can obtain an export license for

  • a basic substance,
  • a mixture containing a basic substance or
  • a natural product containing basic substances.

Precursors are also formally referred to as scheduled substances and are suitable for the manufacture of narcotics. Mixtures of substances or natural products are classified as basic substances if they can be easily used or if the basic substance they contain can be easily and economically recovered from them.
