1) For China's maritime export business, different shipping companies have different regulations. For some products, the transport of maritime dangerous goods can be arranged according to THE INFORMATION of MSDS and the provisions of "International Maritime Dangerous Goods Rules (IMDG)";
2) in most developed countries and regions of the world without similar to China's export dangerous goods monitor, when the goods sent to China from these countries and regions, MSDS airlines and shipping companies is the sole criterion for evaluating this product for international transport, read MSDS can help us to cognitive imported products are classified as dangerous goods in advance, or when the imported products are dangerous goods, according to the MSDS information to judge whether this product can do air freight? Or basic scheme and price for the transport of dangerous goods by sea and air;
3) Due to various reasons such as customs issues, many products in mainland China need to be re-exported to Hong Kong before being shipped overseas. Hong Kong adopts the management scheme of Britain and the United States, and there is no specialized monitoring organization for the export of dangerous goods. Airlines and shipping companies are based on MSDS for export transportation.
After understanding the above understanding of the NECESSITY of MSDS, I have to mention that there are usually few professionals who study chemistry in the international freight forwarder industry, and many friends in the industry will be dazed when encountering the MSDS provided by the manufacturer and find it difficult to get started.
