To ensure the efficient export of synthetic rubber adhesive, a non-hazardous chemical product, to China from Malaysia and South Korea, exporters need to prepare a comprehensive set of documents compliant with China’s chemical import regulations. This section details the mandatory paperwork and critical compliance details for each document.
Origin Certificate (Core Special Document)
Issued by local trade authorities—for example, the Malaysian External Trade Development Corporation for Malaysian exporters or the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency for South Korean exporters—the origin certificate verifies the product’s country of origin. For Malaysian exporters, the certificate must be authenticated by the Chinese Embassy in Malaysia to be eligible for preferential tariffs under China’s ASEAN Free Trade Agreement. South Korean exporters need an additional verification to align with China’s labeling standards. This document is pivotal as it directly influences duty rates and customs eligibility for chemical imports into China.
MSDS (Additional Subclass Document)
As a non-hazardous adhesive, synthetic rubber adhesive still requires a detailed Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) prepared in Chinese, in line with China’s regulations for non-hazardous chemical imports. Malaysian exporters must ensure the MSDS includes key information sections such as chemical components, physical-chemical properties, and first-aid measures, and is signed by a certified chemical engineer. South Korean exporters must verify that all chemical components comply with relevant safety and classification criteria. A non-compliant MSDS, such as missing Chinese translations or outdated safety data, will lead to customs rejection, as seen in the earlier case of a South Korean exporter.
Packing List & Commercial Invoice
A detailed packing list, specifying the product’s net weight, gross weight, and inner/outer packaging specifications, is necessary to verify the consistency of the shipment with the origin certificate. Commercial invoices must include the HS code, the standard classification code for synthetic rubber adhesives, and the exporter’s tax identification number for customs valuation. Both documents are scrutinized for logical consistency, such as matching classification codes between the origin certificate and the commercial invoice, to avoid customs audits.
