All imports or exports of radioactive sources from or to non-EU countries must be registered in advance with the Institut de Radioprotection et de Sûreté Nucléaire.
The exporter or importer completes and attaches to the registration application a form issued by the Institute specifying, in particular, the nature and quantities of radionuclides imported or exported. The form registered by the Institute for Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety is presented in support of the customs declaration.
If no response is received within two months, the registration application referred to in the previous paragraph is rejected.
These provisions do not apply to imports or exports that are not subject to the declaration, registration or authorisation provided for in Article L. 1333-8.
