Expanded a licence on precursors by adding extra kind of activity

In December 2018, a Client applied to our company who shortly before had got a license for activity connected with turnover of precursors. However, when getting the license, the employees of his company did not foresee that another type of activity in the license would be required: purchase of precursors.

The following interested the Client:

• how to add another type of activity to the types specified in his license register;
• how long that procedure would last;
• how to prove the contractors that the obtained license contains the required type of activity.

However, in case such a type of activity as purchase of precursors is added, no confirming documents are required to be submitted. It is enough to attach the information of the established form to the application, and to specify the essence of changes in it.

The period of consideration of documents provided for extension of license is the same as the period for consideration of application about license issue – ten work days. In case the documents are submitted shortly before the next commission, it is possible that the documents are considered namely by the commission. That will speed up the result.

Decision about extension of license is published on the website of the licensing authority. Unfortunately, no paper confirmation is provided with the law. But the main types of license holder’s activity can be seen on the website of the licensing authority (in the license register for the right to perform economic activity on turnover of narcotic drugs and precursors).

All contractors and other person who need to prove their right for performance of the said activity may refer to that register and specify the search criterion, for example, the company’s code according to the Unified State Register of Enterprises and Organizations of Ukraine. That should be enough both for contractors and for government authorities that perform the inspection.
