Procedures for customs declaration of exported chemical hazardous goods: In international exports, handling chemical products involves complex procedures, as it concerns the safety of the goods, the convenience of transportation, customs inspections, and the safety of personnel. Generally, in packaging, aluminum foil bags, bubble wrap, fluorinated bottles, and various types of containers are used. When handling large items during transportation, we should prioritize the safety of the goods as well as ease of transportation, loading, and unloading. It is advisable to keep the weight of each item under 40 kg to facilitate handling. For goods with an excessively large individual weight, they should be packed in wooden crates in a palletized format, which facilitates loading and unloading by forklifts. It is important to note that the weight of some **individual items is limited. There are two types of certificates for hazardous materials packaging: one is the performance certificate, whose full name is the Test Report on the Performance of Packaging for the Transport of Hazardous Goods. This certificate is provided by the packaging manufacturer to the exporter. The other is a certification document, whose full name is the Inspection Result Form for the Use of Packaging in the Transport of Hazardous Goods Out of the Country. To obtain a hazardous materials packaging certificate, one needs to have a packaging performance certificate first; after passing the inspection at the customs authority, a packaging usage certificate is issued, and this usage certificate is what constitutes the hazardous materials packaging certificate. The Dangerous Goods Packaging Certificate is theoretically issued for packaging provided by companies that are registered with the commodity inspection authorities; after that, the factories package the goods and then apply for it. What is truly needed for export is the Dangerous Goods Use Permit. When exporting hazardous goods, there is an additional procedure compared to ordinary goods, namely declaration to the port authorities. For this declaration, a Hazardous Goods Packaging Certificate is required. If an exporter does not have such a certificate when exporting hazardous goods, the goods will not be approved for release by the port authorities, and they cannot be loaded onto the ship. Documents required to obtain a hazardous materials permit: 1. A registration form for imported and exported hazardous goods. 2. Test report. 3. Inspection report on cargo transportation conditions. 4. MSDS (Safety Technical/Data Sheet). 5. Test report on the packaging performance of the goods. 6. Several samples of the relevant hazardous materials also need to be provided. 7. There are also several samples of packaging materials. Basic process for obtaining a hazardous materials handling certificate: submitting an application, accepting the application, sending samples for testing, completing the testing, issuing a test report, conducting review, and issuing the certificate if approved
