What is the registration cost?
There are 8 levels of registration. Each level consists of a flat fee that all industrial chemical importers and manufacturers (introducers) must pay, plus a charge that varies according to the value of relevant industrial chemicals you introduced (imported or manufactured) in the previous financial year.
Are you a new business?
If you're registering for the first time and didn't import or manufacture any industrial chemicals last financial year, you are 'Level 1'.
Note: There are some circumstances where you may not need to register – read 'Introductions that don't require categorisation and registration' and you can also use our decision tool – do I need to register with AICIS?

How do I work out my registration level?
If you're a new business or registering with AICIS for the first time
If you're registering with us for the first time and didn't import or manufacture any relevant industrial chemicals last financial year, you are 'Level 1'. You would need to sign up as a new business in the AICIS Business Services.
Read our guidance on how to register
Previous and renewing registrants
