• Importers in Thailand have still been key players in the notification on hazardous substance to HSCB, DIW Thailand.

• Most of the notifications on existing chemicals have been made by importers of the products, reflecting upon direction by HSCB.

• On the other hand, some importers have had tough time in getting CBI from manufacturers and are not able to apply useful products for importation to Thailand.
