Instructions on How End-Use Certificates are to be Completed, and By Whom  

1. Each end-use certificate should be initiated by the exporter, importer or end user. It should be certified by the end user(s) and by a responsible official of the recipient State in a government agency which is appropriate to the end-use for each Schedule 2 or Schedule 3 chemical to be exported to a State not party to the Convention.

2. Form T20 should be completed prior to transfers of Schedule 2 chemicals to States not party to the Convention, while Form T30 should be completed prior to transfers of Schedule 3 chemicals to States not party to the Convention.

3. It is important for end users in States not party to the Convention to note that end-use certificates, appropriately certified by a responsible official of the recipient State in a government agency which is appropriate to the end-use, should be in the safekeeping of either the exporting State Party’s National Authority for CWC implementation or its government agency responsible for export control before the Schedule 2 or 3 chemical in question is exported.

4. The exporter’s transfer identification at the beginning of Forms T20 and T30 should be obtained from the exporting State Party’s National Authority for CWC implementation or from its government agency which is responsible for export control:

(a) the country code to be provided is that of the exporting State Party, and is not to be that of the recipient State (see Appendix 1 of the Declaration Handbook^*);

(b) "Year" refers to the calendar year in which it is anticipated that the transfer of the Schedule 2 or 3 chemical in question will actually take place; and

(c) the "transfer number" refers to a sequential number that will be uniquely assigned to each transfer of a Schedule 2 or 3 chemical.

5. Each Schedule 2 or 3 chemical to be transferred should be identified by its IUPAC chemical name and by its CAS registry number.

6. The total quantity (in kilograms) of each Schedule 2 or 3 chemical to be transferred should be specified.

7. The end use(s) of each Schedule 2 or 3 chemical to be transferred should be specified using the product group codes listed in Appendix 4 of the Declaration Handbook^*.

8. For each end user which is to process or consume the Schedule 2 or 3 chemical in question, the following information should be provided:

(a) Name of authorised representative of end user

(b) Position of authorised representative of end user

(c) Up-to-date and complete organisational title of end user

(d) Up-to-date and complete address of end user including, and if applicable, postal code, PO box number, fax number, and e-mail address

(e) Quantity (in kilograms) of the Schedule 2 or 3 chemical to be transferred to the end user

9. If more than three end-uses or more than three end users are to be involved in a single export transaction, additional forms should be completed using the same transfer identification number.
