Cooperation with WCO in the identification of the

Most Traded Scheduled Chemicals

2017 edition of the Harmonised System Convention to

become effective 1st Jan 2017

33 most traded scheduled chemicals assigned a unique 6-digit

HS code

WCO HS Convention is mandatory for all WCO contracting

parties

Required to amend the 1996 WCO recommendation, last

amended on 14 July 2016

Updates of three OPCW Tools for the Identification of

Scheduled Chemicals

OPCW tools for the identification of scheduled chemicals:

Most Traded Scheduled Chemical Brochure 2017

Handbook on Chemicals 2017

Online Scheduled Chemical Database 2017

To include, relevant changes made to the WCO 2017 edition of

the HS Convention and effective from 1st January 2017:

unique 6-digit HS code for each of the 33 most traded scheduled chemicals

Available to the States Parties before the 1st of January 2017

both in the OPCW website and in hardcopy or CD

Next step in the Cooperation with WCO

OPCW and WCO collaborate to include 15

additional most traded scheduled chemicals in the

2022 HS Convention

Since 2015, DVE(I) is participating as technical

expert in the relevant scientific revision meetings

as per WCO invitation

Transfer Discrepancies for ADPA 2015

Discrepancies long-outstanding issue

Similar figures to previous years

79 States Parties have transfer discrepancies for

2015

(83 States Parties in 2014)

Seven SPs did not submit AND (15 SPs in 2014)

Represent 2.5% (13 TDs out of the total 527 transfer

discrepancies )

23

Working together for a world free of chemical weapons

www.opcw.org

Actions Taken By The Technical Secretariat (1)

Collaboration with WCO

to allocate unique international 6-digit HS code

Update of the tools for identification of scheduled

chemicals

Provide guidance on resolving transfer discrepancies

included in Declarations Handbook 2013 –6 OPCW official

languages

Promote the use SIX for transmission of CI

24 24

Working together for a world free of chemical weapons

www.opcw.org

Actions Taken By The Technical Secretariat (2)

Continue to provide training to relevant stakeholders

Continue to provide support SP for the legal

implementation

Continue to emphasize the importance of timely,

accurate and complete declarations

Particularly to those SPs who have not submitted AND

declarations and are involved in TDs

25 25

Working together for a world free of chemical weapons

www.opcw.org 26

Actions to be considered by States Parties

Respond to TD letters indicating the outcome of their efforts

Implement decisions on low concentration thresholds

Follow recommendation to declare the weight within a

mixture

Work with other SP involved, particularly with those SPs who

did not declare the transfer

NA day’s meeting and CSP would be a great opportunity to

hold consultation with other SPs

Provide feedback and propose further actions and/or

measures 26 26

States Parties to implement the guidelines as soon as

practicable

Secretariat to report annually on the progress

Questionnaire-based survey on the implementation of
