Full explanation
For Ukrainian chemical exporters (fertilisers, PPPs, additives, process fluids) the requirements are: (1) registration via an Only Representative (OR) — an EU-based legal entity; (2) Chemical Safety Assessment (CSA) for substances >10 t/year; (3) a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) per Annex II updated annually. Registration fees: 1–10 t — €1,739; 10–100 t — €4,605; 100–1,000 t — €12,329; >1,000 t — €33,235 [VERIFY]. OR services in Ukraine: JSC GlobalChemRep, REACH24H, Chemical Watch — €8,000–25,000 per product. The SVHC list (Substances of Very High Concern, 233 entries as of June 2025) expands annually. Fertilisers: urea-formaldehyde resins entered the Candidate List, potentially blocking exports. Regulatory anchors: REACH Review 2022, Green Deal Chemical Strategy for Sustainability (CSS, October 2020). Ukraine has no domestic REACH equivalent — EU requirements are the #1 barrier for chemical exports (CE Marking + REACH = mandatory).
