(5) Restriction measures vary significantly in different Member States, meaning that economic operators that use them in the production of various goods must comply, in the case of the same new psychoactive substance, with different requirements, such as pre-export notification, export authorisation, or import and export licences. Consequently, the differences between the Member States' laws, regulations and administrative provisions on new psychoactive substances hinder the functioning of the internal market, by causing obstacles to trade, market fragmentation, lack of legal clarity and of an even level playing field for economic operators, making it difficult for companies to operate across the internal market and violating the principle of equality.

The disparities in the provisions governing restrictions on the trade in psychoactive substances significantly increase the risk of illegal smuggling channels arising for these substances and lead to laws being circumvented in order to obtain the necessary permits.
