Do you know that there are "sensitive goods" in international logistics for freight dry goods?
International logistics transportation
The demand for cross_border shipping is really increasing nowadays. Customers often ask me if something can be shipped and why it cannot be shipped. Therefore, today I am writing this article to provide reference for cross-border friends before shipping.
01 What is sensitive goods?
sensitive goodsThe definition is relatively complex,It is betweenGeneral goods give contraband Goods between,There is a strict distinction between sensitive goods and prohibited items in international transportation. Generally speaking, sensitive goods are only products that are prohibited from boarding or strictly controlled by customs. Such products can be safely and normally exported and declared. They generally require corresponding testing reports and the use of packaging that meets their special properties. Finding a capable freight forwarding company can be done through special channels for shipping.
02 哪些货物属于敏感货？？？？？？？
01 Electric devices (such as mobile phones, watches, cameras, etc.)
Usually, it is necessary to provideMSDS,Chemical Safety Data Sheet,file andUN38.3(The product needs to undergo high simulation, high and low temperature cycling, vibration testing, impact testing, 55 ℃ external short circuit, impact testing, overcharge testing, and forced discharge testing.
02 Drug category (divided into three types: traditional Chinese medicine, biological medicine, chemical medicine)）
At present, the country's trade export management of drugs mainly focuses on whether they belong to the category of narcotic drugs, psychotropic drugs, and stimulants. Different information is required according to the policy requirements of the exporting country.
03 Food related products (such as edible health products, processed foods, seasonings)
When applying for export inspection of food products, the inspection personnel should provide the following documents:
Outbound food inspection form; Power of attorney (when entrusting inspection); Health registration certificate; Contract; letter of credit; Packing list or detailed list of exported food (if necessary); Factory inspection qualification certificate; Packaging performance result sheet; Label audit certificate (for pre packaged products); Outbound food certificate replacement voucher (must be provided during port inspection); Fumigation and disinfection certificate (for specific countries and regions, containing wooden packaging, insulation materials, etc.); Other supplementary correspondence, documents, etc. that need to be provided.
04 Powder (excluding white), liquid, paste
These types of items are prone to morphological changes during transportation, which can lead to heat generation and explosion accidents. Generally speaking, air transportation has stricter requirements for such items. The majority of such cosmetics, such as liquid foundation, toner, essence liquid, face cream, facial mask, highlight, powder blusher, etc., should all have the same understanding of limiting the capacity of cosmetics by plane. (This type of product usually requires MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) and inspection report from the port of departure before customs declaration can be made).
05 Chemical products
In international transportation, chemical products usually require MSDS, hazardous packaging certificate and other information, and different testing reports are required according to their different characteristics.
06 Cosmetics (belonging to fine chemicals)
Most courier companies classify cosmetics as prohibited items and do not accept them.
07 Magnetic material
This is also usually classified as restricted transportation of goods by air, as items with magnetic tape can interfere with aviation safety during flight. For example, power banks, mobile phones, watches, game consoles, electric toys, razors, as well as various materials such as magnets, magnetic blocks, and magnets. (Usually, this type of product requires magnetic inspection, and the transportation channel is confirmed based on the magnetic inspection report.).
08 Imitation (Imitation belongs to infringing products and can only be paid for customs clearance)
These types of items often involve legal disputes such as infringement, and genuine products are prone to smuggling, counterfeiting, or are all considered legal infringing items. For example, major brand bags, watches, etc.
03 What should be noted when mailing sensitive goods?
(1) Prepare certification documents and necessary testing reports.
(2) Compliant declaration, quantity, value of goods, and product name are particularly important and cannot be mistaken.
(3) Understand the customs clearance policies and requirements of the destination country to reduce transportation risks.
Due to the fact that the export of sensitive goods is more complicated than general goods, it requires slightly higher capabilities from customs clearance and logistics service providers, resulting in correspondingly higher prices. From the perspective of logistics transportation, it is necessary to find more powerful logistics service providers who provide professional platform system docking services and cross_border logistics customs clearance services to avoid goods being unable to clear customs and ship smoothly due to unknown or incorrect information.
