Key Technical Points for Clearing Sulfonated Derivatives
Clearing sulfonated derivatives requires precision and full awareness of the rules applicable to these chemicals. To ensure a smooth, fast clearance, note the following:
Customs Tariff (HS Code)
| Product Group | Short Description | HS Code (example) |
|---|---|---|
| Organic sulfonated derivatives | Sulfonated/sulfonic compounds | 2904.10 |
Final classification depends on exact identity, formulation, end-use, and technical documents (COA/SDS).
Required Documentation
- Commercial Invoice: Detailed price, quantity, product type, and sales terms. Must be consistent with filings.
- Packing List: Counts, packaging type, and weights; must match the physical shipment.
- Certificate of Origin: Establishes manufacturing country and may affect duty rates or preferences.
- Health & Safety Certificates: Depending on the derivative, additional health, safety, or environmental conformity documents may be required (from MoH or Environmental Protection Organization).
Required Permits
Some sulfonated derivatives, due to their chemical properties, are subject to special regulations and may require permits from competent authorities, for example:
- Environmental Protection Organization permits: If products contain environmentally hazardous components, permits and compliance with environmental standards are required.
-
Ministry of Health permits: Derivatives used in pharma or food-related sectors may require MoH approvals to confirm safety and compliance.
Transport Conditions
Given their chemistry, sulfonated derivatives may require special transport conditions, including:
- Proper packaging: Use compliant, robust containers to prevent leaks or damage. Labels should state contents, hazards, and safety instructions.
-
Controlled transport conditions: Some derivatives require temperature- or pressure-controlled carriage. Non-compliance can alter properties or cause hazards. Choose suitable modes and specialized chemical carriers.
Import/Export Conditions & Barriers
Iran imports sulfonated derivatives mainly from China, India, Germany, and the U.S.—all major global producers. Exports typically go to regional markets such as Iraq, Afghanistan, and parts of Central Asia.
Due to strong domestic demand—especially in detergents, pharmaceuticals, and paints—imports generally exceed exports.
Global Market
The global market for sulfonated derivatives is growing on the back of demand from detergents, pharmaceuticals, and plastics. China and India dominate production, while Europe and the U.S. are among the largest consumers.
