How to submit an annual declaration
The annual declaration form is on AICIS Business Services and due by 30 November 2025 for all chemicals that you introduced during the last AICIS registration year between 1 September 2024 and 31 August 2025.
There are 6 AICIS introduction categories and you must choose which one(s) apply.
You must first have worked out which introduction category applies to each chemical that you manufactured or imported. By submitting the form, you are declaring that your introductions meet the criteria for the categories that you selected.
Listed introductions – Select this if a chemical is on the Inventory and you introduced it in accordance with the chemical's 'Inventory terms of listing'.
Exempted introductions – Select this if your chemical introduction meets the criteria for the exempted (very low risk) category, then select the types that you introduced:
- Introductions where the highest indicative risk is very low risk
- Polymers of low concern
- Low-concern biological polymers
- Industrial chemicals that are solely for use in research and development
- Manufactured soap
- Industrial chemicals that are imported and subsequently exported
- Industrial chemicals that are comparable to listed industrial chemicals
- Polymers that were comparable to listed polymers
- Industrial chemicals resulting from non-functionalised surface treatment of listed industrial chemicals
You also need to submit a post-introduction declaration for some exempted introduction types.
Reported introductions – Select this if your chemical introduction met the criteria for the reported (low risk) category and you have submitted a pre-introduction report to AICIS.
Assessed introductions – Select this if you held, or your introduction was covered by, an AICIS-issued assessment certificate that was in force between 1 September 2024 and 31 August 2025.
Commercial evaluation introductions – Select this if you held a commercial evaluation authorisation issued by AICIS that was in force between 1 September 2024 and 31 August 2025.
Exceptional circumstance introductions – Select this if the Minister with responsibility for AICIS authorised the introduction and you held an exceptional circumstances authorisation that was in force between 1 September 2024 and 31 August 2025.
