Chemicals and Plastics
For chemicals the customs declaration alone is not enough; permits, safety data sheets and control certificates drive the process.
What to watch
Key customs issues in this sector
- Consistency of the Safety Data Sheet and product description with the declaration
- Permits and prior notification for controlled chemicals
- Documentary compliance for dangerous goods (ADR/IMDG)
- Anti-dumping and additional customs duty checks on plastic raw materials
- Product groups requiring separate stock control in bonded warehouses
The most common problem in this group is a mismatch between the commercial name and the tariff description; seeing the technical documentation early resolves it.
