4. What information should you request from your suppliers located outside the EEA?

If your suppliers are not based in the EEA, they are not subject to REACH regulations. As an importer, you are responsible for meeting the obligations associated with placing the product on the market. As a reminder, under REACH regulations, importation is considered the first placing on the market.

Your obligations under the registration procedure will depend on your annual import volume. Reaching the threshold of one ton per year triggers obligations that must be met in order to continue importing.
