Hello! Thank you for your attention to KDMES & JJMES

Regard your question,please refer to the reply as below:

Organic chemicals mainly include ethylene, ethylene dichloride, vinyl chloride monomer, styrene monomer, ethylene glycol, ethylene cyanide, benzene and methyl tert butyl ether, accounting for about 46% of the chemical shipping volume; Inorganic chemicals mainly include phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide, accounting for about 15% of the chemical shipping volume; Vegetable oil and animal fat account for about 25% of chemical shipping volume.


Question 1:What supporting documents are required for the export of chemicals by sea?

Generally, MSDS and shipping power of attorney shall be provided. If it is dangerous goods, it is also necessary to provide dangerous goods packaging performance certificate, identification report of Chemical Research Institute and normal customs declaration data.


Question 2:What supporting documents are required for the export of chemicals by sea?

MSDS is an important document to convey chemical hazard information. It briefly describes the harm of a chemical to human health and the environment, and provides information on the safe handling, storage and use of the chemical. The United States, Japan, EU countries and other developed countries have generally established and implemented MSDS system. According to the chemical management regulations of these countries, manufacturers of hazardous chemicals usually provide a safety data sheet of their products when selling, transporting or exporting their products.

At present, the foreign requirements for MSDs (SDS) have been extended to almost all chemicals. In this regard, chemicals exported to developed countries now basically require MSDS (SDS) for smooth customs declaration. In addition, some foreign purchasers will require MSDS (SDS) of goods, and some domestic and foreign enterprises or joint ventures will also put forward such requirements.
