If there is a REACH obligation for you, this means that substances (or substances
present in your products) should be registered within European Union (EU). Only EU
companies can do registration of substances. For you as company outside EU there are the
following two possibilities:

■ Appoint an OR who can do the registration for you (see 1.4)

■ Rely on your importer to do the registration for you (in this case you have less
influence on process).
