Dangerous goods import and export involves additional regulatory requirements beyond standard cargo. Compliance with labeling, packaging, documentation, and handling regulations is mandatory to ensure safety and avoid severe penalties.
Classification and Documentation
Dangerous goods must be classified according to UN numbers and hazard classes. Required documentation includes Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), dangerous goods declarations, and special packaging certifications. Misdeclaration can result in fines exceeding 100,000 RMB and cargo detention.
Packaging and Labeling
All dangerous goods must use UN-certified packaging with proper hazard labels and handling instructions visible on the exterior. Different hazard classes have specific packaging requirements that must be strictly followed.
