The Chemical Weapon Convention (CWC) establishes a verification regime (e.g., declaration requirements, on-site inspections, and trade restrictions) for weapons-related toxic chemicals and precursors that have peaceful applications. BIS CWC regulations require a U.S. industry exceeding certain chemical activity thresholds to submit declarations and reports. BIS processes, validates, and aggregates the declarations and reports, to develop the U.S. CWC Industrial Declaration, which is forwarded to the State Department, within time frames mandated under the CWC, and to submit it to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW).
