Chemical Raw Materials Customs Clearance for China Imports

Typical Hurdles in Chemical Raw Materials Import Clearance

Importing chemical raw materials to China presents several hurdles. Based on our expertise, the main challenges include:

• Stringent classification of hazardous chemicals under China’s Dangerous Chemicals Safety Management Regulations

• Complex documentation needs, such as MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) and import permits

• Prolonged inspection periods due to the nature of chemical substances

For instance, a Southeast Asian chemical supplier recently faced a 7-day delay because their MSDS wasn’t in the required format, causing hold-ups at Guangzhou Nansha Port.
