Specific Q: If the transportation condition identification result of the goods indicates that they are ordinary chemical products without any hazards, and the HS tariff code of the goods shows that a customs clearance certificate is required, do the import and export consignors need to provide a hazardous characteristics classification identification report? If such a report is required, must it be issued by a customs technology center laboratory, or is a report issued by a third-party testing institution acceptable?
A: Hello, according to the provisions of the General Administration of Customs Announcement No. 129, 2020 (Announcement on Issues Concerning the Inspection and Supervision of Imported and Exported Hazardous Chemicals and the Packaging Thereof): A hazardous characteristics classification identification report is a mandatory document for the declaration of export hazardous chemicals. If the goods are confirmed to be chemicals listed in the "Catalogue of Hazardous Chemicals (2015)", the enterprise should provide the report. For import hazardous chemicals, the customs does not require a hazardous characteristics classification identification report.
In accordance with the requirements of the General Administration of Customs Announcement No. 129, 2020, export hazardous chemicals should provide a classification identification report issued by a qualified laboratory (CNAS certified).
