Chlorobenzene
Key Points in Clearing Tetrachloros & Chlorobenzene
1. Product Classification & HS Code Determination
- Tetrachloros (HS Code 290319): assigned to certain chlorinated organic compounds containing four chlorine atoms.
- Chlorobenzene (HS Code 290391): for chlorinated aromatics like chlorobenzene, used to produce other compounds such as phenols and insecticides.
Misclassification can cause delays, higher customs costs, and even heavy fines. Therefore, consulting experienced customs specialists or brokers for precise HS coding is essential.
2. Required Documents
- Customs Entry Confirmation (“Green Sheet”): proves the goods have entered the customs zone and is the first document to present.
- Commercial Invoice: must show quantity, weight, unit price, and total price. Any discrepancy can halt the process.
- Packing List: details packaging, number of packages, and shipment particulars—crucial for inspections.
- Certificate of Origin: specifies the producing country, usually issued by the chamber of commerce at origin, and supports authenticity.
-
MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet): includes technical and safety information; required to assess hazards and define safe transport/storage measures.
3. Safety Measures & Quality Control
- Proper packaging: must comply with international standards to minimize risks during transport and storage, and be resistant to leakage and physical damage.
- Correct storage conditions: temperature, humidity, and light can affect these materials; observe appropriate conditions (e.g., lower temperatures or dry environments).
-
Quality control: thorough inspection by customs or independent inspection companies may be required to verify compliance; testing can include chemical analyses for purity and quality.
4. Legal Permits
- Environmental permit: to ensure the imported chemicals do not adversely impact the environment/ecosystems.
- Ministry of Health permit: given their use in sensitive sectors such as pharma, the ministry must confirm compliance with public health standards.
Failure to obtain these permits can delay clearance and even lead to return or seizure at customs.
