License for scrap metal ferrous and non-ferrous metals

License for scrap metal ferrous and non-ferrous metals

In the conditions of the modern economy, the procurement, processing and sale of scrap metal is one of the strategic directions for the development of industry and infrastructure of Ukraine. But at the same time, the sphere of circulation of scrap metal of ferrous and non-ferrous metals is under strict state control. This is justified by the fact that it often becomes the object of abuse, shadow schemes and damage to the environment.
In order for an enterprise to have the right to legally conduct activities related to the acceptance, procurement, storage or sale of scrap metal, it is necessary to obtain a license for scrap metal of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. This permit is a guarantee that the activity complies with current legislative norms and you can freely cooperate with partners and government agencies.

Legal stages of obtaining a license for scrap metal ferrous and non-ferrous metals

This process consists of a number of sequential actions, each of which has its own specifics:

• Primary legal assessment of the enterprise and analysis of documents. At the initial stage, the lawyer carefully examines the constituent documents, checks the types of activities in the extract from the Unified State Register, the presence of the necessary KVEDs, as well as documents for real estate or sites where work with scrap metal is planned.
   
• Collection and preparation of a package of documents. To obtain a license, a large list of documents should be formed: regulations on scrap metal activities, internal instructions, territory organization schemes, equipment acceptance and transfer acts, certificates of weighing facilities, agreements with laboratories for environmental control, without which it is impossible to issue a license for scrap metal ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The lawyer is responsible for the correct preparation of all documents.
    
• Organization of training and staff training. The legislation requires that employees working with scrap metal be properly instructed. For this purpose, special training programs are prepared, briefings are conducted, registration logs are kept, and schedules for technical inspections of equipment are drawn up.
   
• Submission of documents and support of inspections. When all the papers are ready, the specialist prepares and submits an application to the relevant authority. Then he responds to possible requests, accompanies during inspections and monitors the elimination of remarks, if any.
   
• Obtaining a license and further legal support. After the decision to issue a license is made, the company officially receives the right to operate in the scrap metal market. But the specialist continues to support the business - takes on reporting issues, prepares for inspections and helps in resolving disputes with regulatory authorities.

Comprehensive completion of all these steps under the supervision of a lawyer guarantees that the license will be obtained in the shortest possible time and without the risk of repeated submissions or fines.

In order for a lawyer to successfully organize and conduct the procedure for obtaining a license, it is important that the company ensures a number of organizational and legal conditions:

It is also important to have resources for briefings and training personnel.
