According to the Australian authorities, a separate post-introduction declaration is needed for chemicals defined as “exempted” submitted during 2021- 2022. Declarations for exempted chemicals should cover the period of 1^st September 2021-31^st August 2022 and can be submitted from 1^st August until 30^th November 2022.

A separate submission should be done for each exempted chemical, the total number of PLCs and the total number of low-concern biopolymers.

Note: post-introduction declaration presumes that an introduction for exempted chemicals has already been done. This concerns:

• polymers of low concern (PLCs)
• low-concern biopolymers
• chemicals categorised as very low risk for human health and the environment
