Chemical Internet Trade
The Internet is a growing pathway to trade chemicals. Companies which trade or advertise chemical products via the Internet within the EEA, have to comply with complex European and national legal requirements regarding electronic commerce, placing chemicals on the market, the protection of consumers in respect to distance contracts etc. The number of dangerous chemicals traded via the Internet is increasing and the authorities are taking enforcement actions.
Trading via the Internet becomes more important for businesses around the Globe and the chemical industry needs to keep up with the times. However, for some chemicals Internet trade is not possible and for some it can be very complicated or expensive. Therefore, it is important that you receive good advice on when and how to trade via the Internet. While selling via the Internet could increase your business, doing it legally compliant protects your business against enforcement measures, as well as against legal actions by your competitors.
