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.
