Guangzhou Customs Clearance for Imported Chemical Raw Materials

Common Hurdles in Importing Chemical Raw Materials to Guangzhou

Importing chemical raw materials to Guangzhou involves specific regulatory requirements that often cause delays. The primary issues include:

• Incorrect classification of hazardous chemicals, leading to regulatory hold-ups

• Stringent inspection procedures by Guangzhou Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau

• Complex documentation needs (e.g., MSDS, hazardous material declarations)

We’ve seen these issues firsthand. For example, a UK-based chemical supplier once struggled with misclassified materials, but our team corrected the classification within 24 hours, avoiding a 5-day delay.

Our Streamlined Clearance Process for Chemical Raw Materials

We’ve developed a tailored process to navigate the complexities of importing chemical raw materials to Guangzhou:

1. Document Pre-Review: Within 24 hours of receiving your documents (MSDS, commercial invoice, packing list), our experts check for accuracy, especially hazardous material classifications. For a US client importing solvents, we identified and fixed a missing MSDS clause before submission, preventing a potential delay.

2. Inspection Coordination: We work directly with the Guangzhou inspection bureau to schedule inspections efficiently, ensuring compliance with all safety regulations. For instance, when a client imported phthalic anhydride, we reduced inspection time to 3 hours by prepping all required paperwork and coordinating with the bureau in advance.

3. Electronic Declaration: Leveraging our customs broker qualifications, we submit declarations electronically to Guangzhou Customs, speeding up the approval process by an average of 2 days compared to manual submissions. In the past year, we’ve processed over 150 chemical raw material imports, maintaining a 98.2% on-time clearance rate for hazardous materials.
