Successful Management of Hazardous Goods Import

Guangzhou Kims International Freight Forwarding Co., Ltd. has recently successfully acted as the agent for Jiangsu Heavy Industries Limited Company in importing nitrogen cylinders from Denmark to Shanghai. The main challenge of this project was the presence of a small amount of nitrogen gas within the cylinders, necessitating clearance as hazardous goods and adding complexity to the operation. This case demonstrates our company's professional capabilities in handling the import of special and high-difficulty goods.

Client Background and Challenges:

• Client: A certain Jiangsu Heavy Industries Limited Company
• Goods: 1*20GP container, containing 6 nitrogen cylinders
• Challenge: The presence of a small amount of nitrogen gas in the cylinders required clearance as hazardous goods. The customs clearance work previously handled by Sinotrans had reached an impasse due to this issue.

Solution and Operation Process:

• Preparation of Complete Customs Documentation: Including bill of lading, packing list, invoice contract, customs declaration, and inspection power of attorney, all mailed to the customs broker.
• Adjustment of Customs Declaration Method: Nitrogen gas was declared under general trade, while the nitrogen cylinders were declared for processing trade.
• Inspection and Clearance: Completion of inspection declaration to ensure the smooth issuance of the clearance single.
• Provision of Additional Documents: Including quality and safety assurance for inbound and outbound goods among other important documents.
• Processing Trade 'Minor List': Ensuring data consistency with customs documentation and obtaining client authorization for operation.
• Ensuring Accurate Declaration of Compliance for Hazardous Chemicals Business: Including accurate UN identification.
• Customs Declaration: Proceed with customs declaration after preparing all necessary materials.

Customs Inspection and Label Production:

• Customs Inspection: Arrange an inspection plan according to the inspection instruction to ensure successful completion.
• Label Production: Produce Chinese labels based on the MSDS, ensuring the accuracy of the label content.

Risk Tips and Management:

• Accuracy of MSDS: Do not download randomly; its accuracy must be ensured to produce compliant labels.
• Consistency of Data: The data on the processing trade goods' minor list must match the data on the packing list and invoice.
• Detailed Confirmation of Goods Information: Including UN.NO to ensure correct customs clearance of hazardous goods.
