كلوريد الأمونيوم is essential to industries from fertilizers and batteries to pharmaceuticals and food production. As a strictly regulated hazardous chemical, it requires mandatory inspection and quarantine for import. This means every shipment faces customs scrutiny—and without expert knowledge, importers risk costly demurrage fees, delays, and even rejected shipments. It is also important to note that the chemical must pass a commercial inspection before it is permitted for export from producing countries.
Navigating these complexities demands a supplier who is more than a vendor: a guide through regulatory challenges. With over a decade of expertise built on our role as your manufacturer, YRC ensures safe, efficient, and fully compliant delivery, making us your most reliable supply chain partner.
A Professional Guide to Ammonium Chloride Customs Inspection (Quality Inspection)
Step One: Preliminary Preparation — The Foundation of Successful Clearance
1.HS Code Classification
Accurate HS coding dictates all regulatory steps. Key codes for salt of ammonia:
2827.1010 (Fertilizers)
2827.1090 (Industrial/Food uses)
2.Regulatory Conditions
Identify requirements early:
A: Mandatory inspection/quarantine for imports
B: Export declarations
G: Possible dual-use export license
3.Document Preparation
Essential paperwork includes:
Basic trade documents (Contract, Invoice, Packing List, B/L)
MSDS: Critically reviewed for composition/hazards
Hazard Classification Report (Proof of Class 9 DG status)
Certificate of Origin + additional certificates (e.g., pesticide registration for fertilizers)
How We Ensure Compliance and Confidence
Authoritative Bilingual SDS: Accredited, fully compliant with China GHS standards for smooth clearance
GHS-Compliant Labels: Correctly applied to all packaging to prevent delays
Pre-Shipment Document Review: Verified by experts to ensure 100% accuracy and avoid surprises
Step Two: Declaration & System Review
Submit the declaration and all supporting documents via the ‘Single Window’ system. Based on the HS code and risk profile, the system will typically assign an “Inspection” or “Inspection + Commodity Verification” instruction
Step Three: On-Site Inspection & Sampling
Location: Customs-controlled supervision area.
Key Activities
1.Document Check: Verify consistency between goods (packaging, labels, quantity) and documents.
2.Hazard Label Review: Ensure full GHS compliance (pictograms, signal words, statements) — a frequent failure point.
3.Packaging Integrity Check: Inspect for leaks or damage.
4.Sampling: Collect samples for lab testing(quality,safety and standards)
Quality: Nitrogen content, moisture, impurities
Safety: Heavy metals (e.g., lead, arsenic)
Standards Applied: GB/T 2946-2018 (Industrial) / GB 1886.5-2015 (Food Grade)
Step Four: Laboratory Testing & Awaiting Results
This phase takes the most time—typically 3–10 business days, subject to lab scheduling. During this period, goods are stored in a bonded warehouse, accruing storage and demurrage fees.
Our Quality Commitment
We ensure every batch meets contractual and Chinese national standards (e.g., GB/T 2946-2018) through rigorous in-house inspections. By preventing quality issues at the source, we secure your shipment against rejection and provide full compliance assurance.
Step Five: Comprehensive Review and Release
Upon receiving the laboratory’s inspection report, customs/conformity assessment authorities will conduct a final review of all documentation and test results.
Result 1: Qualified. The authorities will issue an “Inspection and Quarantine Certificate for Entry Goods”. With this certificate, the importer can proceed to pick up the goods for distribution or use.
Result 2: Unqualified. The authorities will issue an “Inspection and Quarantine Treatment Notice”. Depending on the specific non-compliance, the goods will be subject to either “Re-exportation” or “Destruction”.
Key Questions Answered
Q:
How long does clearance take, and what are the potential extra costs?
A:
You should plan for 7 to 15 days for the entire inspection and clearance procedure. The most common additional expenses are customs storage fees and container demurrage charges, which accrue while goods are held for laboratory testing.
