Jurisdiction-specific checks

  • Use NIER CAS search for restricted/controlled flags.

  • Confirm HSK and local SDS/GHS/transport.

Confirm the current requirements

The importer should verify current requirements for the actual composition, use, quantity and transport mode. Use the official portals for research and confirm declarations and permissions with the responsible local party.
