The charge would be calculated each year according to methods set out in regulations, and those who fail to register would face penalties.
- It requires chemical importers to register before they can bring in any industrial chemical.
- It sets up an annual registration fee for those importers.
- It lets regulations specify how to work out the amount of that fee.
