Specific certificates and reports:

Different countries and regions may have other special requirements, and export enterprises need to understand and comply with relevant regulations in advance.
The basic process for exporting hazardous chemicals is as follows:
1. Enterprise declaration: Export enterprises or their agents must possess qualifications such as "Registration Certificate of Customs Declaration Unit" and "License for Production/Operation of Hazardous Chemicals". Through the "Internet plus+Customs" integrated online service platform or the "China International Trade Single Window", the electronic data of the inspection application form and the accompanying documents are transmitted to the customs, such as the Declaration of Conformity of Export Dangerous Chemicals Production Enterprises, the Inspection Results of the Transport Packaging Performance of Outbound Goods, and the Classification and Identification Report of Dangerous Characteristics.
2. Customs review: Customs reviews whether the declaration form is filled in completely and accurately, whether the accompanying documents are complete, and the consistency, authenticity, and validity of the declaration materials. For those that do not meet the requirements, notify the applicant to make corrections.
3. Customs inspection: inspect whether the composition, physical and chemical properties, hazard categories, etc. of the product comply with regulations, check whether there are hazard disclosure labels on the packaging of hazardous chemicals, whether safety data sheets are attached, and whether the label and data sheet contents are compliant. When necessary, sampling testing will be conducted on the product.
4. Subsequent disposal: After inspection, if the hazard disclosure information does not meet the requirements, the enterprise needs to rectify and re inspect before issuing relevant documents. If it is not qualified, it is not allowed to export. For violations such as discrepancies between hazardous characteristics and declaration, declaring high-risk dangerous goods as low-risk or not reporting, the customs will further handle them.
