SUBMISSION GUIDELINES


The The Chemical Weapons Convention Declaration and Report Handbook should be used in conjunction with the CWCR to complete the required declaration and report forms that are due to the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS). The Handbook is only available online and only in PDF file format. The handbook documents can be opened, viewed, and printed from the CWC Website or they can be downloaded to your PC. The handbook is available from this site in one 112 page PDF file containing all sections and forms1 or it is available, also from this site, broken up into smaller PDF sections down to individual forms. Using these PDF files, either over the Internet or downloaded to your PC, requires that Adobe Acrobat2 be installed on your PC.

The declaration and report forms can be completed in three ways:

  1. Print blank forms with Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.1 or higher (or any recent Adobe Acrobat application), and complete them by hand or typewriter. When completed please mail the signed3 declarations and reports to:
    • Treaty Compliance Division
      Bureau of Industry and Security
      U.S. Department of Commerce
      14th and Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.
      Room 4515
      Washington, D.C. 20230
  2. Enter information directly onto the forms and print them from this site. The forms can be saved as-edited on your PC and modified or printed at a later time only if you have Adobe Acrobat Standard or Professional Edition installed on your computer. You cannot save forms for additional editing, printing, or viewing at a later time with Adobe Acrobat Reader or Adobe Elements.  When completed using this method please mail the signed3 declarations and reports to the address in #1 above.
  3. Make paperless submissions by submitting declarations and reports directly over the Internet using Web-DESI. With Web-DESI you have the ability to enter and modify information over multiple work sessions. Before using the Web DESI application you will be required to get certification.
