Customs clearance of full container dangerous goods imported by sea

Many customers have always thought that the import process of dangerous goods is very complicated, so they have never dared to try. In fact, as long as they have made full preparations, understood the products well and prepared the materials correctly, the import customs clearance of dangerous goods is not as complicated as everyone imagined.

A customer wants to import a batch of dangerous goods from South Korea by sea. Our company needs to handle the import customs clearance and delivery on behalf of him. Before shipment, our company communicated with foreign countries on behalf of the customer about the delivery time and other issues. Foreign countries told us to load two small containers, because one of the goods cannot be mixed with other goods in a container, otherwise there may be potential safety hazards due to the characteristics of its own dangerous goods. Our company found after reading the information about the goods, The name of the product is only over 20 kg, which can be used for LCL, but the Korean shipper insists on using the whole container. Our operator communicated with the customer, explaining that the cost of the full container of dangerous goods arriving at the port is expensive. We hope the customer can take the cost into consideration and communicate with the foreign shipper. However, after several unsuccessful communications, our company can only agree with the South Korean approach.

Before the goods are about to arrive at Shanghai Port, our company received the bill of lading, MSDS and other documents provided by foreign countries. Due to the particularity of dangerous goods, our company's operators quickly declared the danger, and then changed the order to the shipping company for declaration. The customs of dangerous goods shall examine and verify the labels of dangerous goods, and the goods shall be released after the customs checks that the labels meet the standards. After the customs clearance is completed, the driver shall be informed of the danger level of the goods, so as to arrange the team to pick up and deliver the goods.

The cost of the goods in the port area is calculated afterwards. Therefore, customers must estimate the possible cost of each link in advance when importing dangerous goods in the future to avoid exceeding the budget.
