Who has to register depends on the place: it is often the brand owner, the importer or the marketplace, and the quote under each date shows the wording. Instica reads the date from the source and shows it beside the period it opens. The registration itself is something you do in the official registry.\n\n#### Report\n\nA report deadline is the date by which the packaging quantities for a stated period have to reach the receiving office or programme. The period covered is shown with the date, because the same report can be due a few months after the period ends. Instica measures and estimates the weights, prepares the file in the layout of the recipient and shows you the numbers; you sign and submit it in the official portal.\n\n#### Other date\n\nSome dates in the source are neither a registration, a report nor a payment, for example a date from which a rule applies or a notice period. They are listed with the same source and quote as every other date, and the note beside each one says what it is."

You sign in to the official portal, check the file and submit it yourself, and Instica never stores your portal credentials.\n\n### How do I add the United Kingdom dates to my calendar?\n\nUse the calendar block on this page: download the file or subscribe with the feed address. Each event has the day, the kind of date and the address of the source. Dates that the source gives only as a month or in words are not in the feed.\n\n### What if a source changes a date after this review?\n\nThe source wins. Every entry shows the day it was retrieved. Check the source address before you act, and use the next review of this page for the change."
