The key points of compliance for the import and export of precursor chemicals are summarized as follows:
- The state implements a licensing system for the import and export of precursor chemicals. A license must be obtained for importing or exporting precursor chemicals in any form.
- For importing or exporting precursor chemicals or their processed products and by-products that require domestic sales under processing trade, the corresponding import (export) license must be obtained first, and related procedures should be handled with the import (export) license.
- For mixtures containing precursor chemicals, operators should calculate the amount of precursor chemicals and apply for the import (export) license as required, except for compound pharmaceutical preparations containing precursor chemicals.
- Transit, transshipment, and through-transport of precursor chemicals should apply for import (export) licenses according to these regulations.
- Precursor chemicals moving between overseas locations and special customs supervision areas such as bonded areas and export processing zones, or bonded places, should apply for import (export) licenses as required. However, movements of precursor chemicals within domestic bonded areas, export processing zones, and other special customs supervision areas do not require import (export) licenses.
- Operators should truthfully declare to customs when importing or exporting precursor chemicals, submit the import (export) license, and customs will process the clearance based on the license. For importing pharmaceuticals within the first category of precursor chemicals, a customs clearance form issued by the food and drug supervision department must also be submitted.
