Shanghai mandates goods declaration 24 hours before arrival at the port
The Shanghai Port recently issued a notice to further strengthen the management of hazardous chemicals containers at the port. The notice indicates that for containers of hazardous chemicals that have been unloaded, the shipping company and agent/customer must put into writing, explaining relevant information about the goods. They should attach an appraisal report of the hazardous chemicals classification and the report should be issued by a qualified third-party organization.
Starting from July 1, 2022, shipping companies and agents have to provide the operation terminal with the dangerous characteristics of the hazardous chemicals container, as issued by a qualified third party. The documents, classification appraisal report and declaration form for dangerous goods operation at the port should be submitted 24 hours before the ship arrives at the port.
If this information is readily available, it will then be more possible for the port terminal to take necessary safety precautions.
