Registration of pesticides, agrochemicals and disinfectants: from technical specifications to full registration — fast and stress‑free

Do you manufacture or import pesticides, agrochemicals (fertilisers, plant growth regulators, bioproducts) or disinfectants and want to obtain registration in Ukraine? We offer full support: from drafting technical specifications (TS) to filing the documents and obtaining registration — for any type of registration action, both for Ukrainian and foreign manufacturers.

Why this matters

• Legal compliance. Registration is a mandatory condition for selling and using such products in Ukraine.
• Avoid penalties. Unregistered products may lead to sanctions, seizure of goods or a ban on their use.
• Faster market entry. A properly prepared document package and our experience allow you to obtain registration more quickly.

What we do (full package)

• All types of registration actions for all kinds of pesticides and agrochemicals of Ukrainian or foreign origin:
• Fertilisers
• Plant growth regulators
• Bioproducts
• Pesticides (insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, etc.)
• Drafting technical specifications (TS) — from the first description to a complete document ready for submission.
• New registration from scratch — full registration of a product that does not yet have a registration certificate in Ukraine.
• Re‑registration — when registration must be renewed after expiry or due to a change in composition.
• Amendments to the technological part — changes to the registration dossier without full re‑registration.
• Registration of disinfectants — a separate service for disinfection, disinsection and deratisation products.

How it works — 4 simple steps

1. We define the product type, applicable regulations and expected registration timeline.
2. Drafting TS. We prepare technical specifications, required laboratory descriptions and supporting documents.
3. We submit the package to the competent authority (State Service of Ukraine on Food Safety and Consumer Protection, Ministry of Health for disinfectants).
4. We monitor the process and provide you with the registration document.

What we prepare (document package)

• Technical specifications (TS) or technological description.
• Product composition, instructions for use and safety.
• Laboratory tests (analyses, certificates).
• Manufacturer’s documents (licences, certificates, copies of registration in the country of origin).
• Notarised Ukrainian translation for foreign products.

Practical tips

• Correctly determine the product type: fertiliser, growth regulator, bioproduct, pesticide or disinfectant — each has its own registration rules.
• Already have TS? We can adapt them for submission and handle registration without drafting new TS.
• For foreign products, it is essential to have a certified translation and copies of registration in the country of manufacture.
• Re‑registration is usually required when the composition, manufacturer or validity period changes.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Incorrect product type, which leads to rejection or return of the documents.
• Incomplete set of laboratory tests or certificates.
• No certified Ukrainian translation for foreign products.
• Missing re‑registration deadlines — the product may lose its legal status.

• Select the correct registration type (new registration, re‑registration, amendments).
• Draft TS in line with legal requirements.
• Prepare the full document package and arrange submission.
• Monitor the process in the competent authority and provide the registration document.
• If needed, support laboratory testing and prepare responses to official requests.

Timeframes and fees (approximate)

• Express package: new registration in 30–45 days (depending on product type).
• Standard package: 45–60 days — full TS development + filing + obtaining registration.
• Re‑registration / amendments: 15–30 days.
• Disinfectants: 30–50 days (depending on composition and testing).
• Additionally: support of laboratory tests, preparation of replies to authorities, representation.
