Our company is located in Shanghai, and we recently plan to export a batch of industrial epoxy resin adhesives to Europe. We would like to confirm what core materials we need to prepare, from compliance, logistics to client communication. This is our first time exporting chemical products, and we're particularly concerned about customs inspections or customer rejections due to incomplete documentation.

For glue exports，it is first necessary to clarify the HS code and whether it belongs to dangerous chemicals. You need to prepare the following documents。
1) An English and Chinese version of the SDS (Safety Data Sheet)，which is the core basis for customs to determine hazardous properties。
2) If the product is listed in the "Dangerous Chemicals Catalog"，you need to obtain the "Appraisal Result of Packaging Used for Export of Dangerous Goods" and the "Performance Inspection Result of Packaging Used for Export of Dangerous Goods"。
3) For ordinary chemical products subject to commodity inspection，provide a factory inspection report and a declaration of conformity。
4) Basic documents such as customs declarations，invoices，packing lists，and contracts。
5) If dual-use items are involved，an export license is also required。
Key risk points: Failure to accurately declare hazardous properties may result in administrative penalties from customs. It is recommended to conduct sample testing in advance.

From a logistics operations perspective, you need to:
1) Select appropriate packaging based on whether the glue is a dangerous good and provide a Dangerous Goods Packaging Certificate (if applicable);
2) Submit the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and a Dangerous Goods Declaration Form (DG Form) to the shipping company when booking a shipment. For non-dangerous goods, a Non-Dangerous Goods Guarantee Letter is required;
3) Prepare complete customs declaration materials, including a customs declaration draft, invoice, packing list, and declaration elements;
4) For exports via Shanghai Port, submit an electronic customs declaration request in the customs system in advance;
5) For air freight shipments, provide a Dangerous Goods Declaration (DGD).
In terms of time planning, dangerous goods must be booked 10-14 days in advance, while non-dangerous goods require 7 days’ notice. We recommend using Incoterms FOB Shanghai, where we handle local customs clearance and transportation while you ensure timely submission of all required documents.

When dealing with clients, the materials list itself is a demonstration of professionalism. You need to:
1) Clearly list all documents to be provided (e.g., SDS, COA, Dangerous Goods Packaging Certificate) in the proforma invoice (PI) to avoid disputes later.
2) Suggest a payment method of 30% deposit + 70% upon receipt of the bill of lading copy, and stipulate that "providing complete export documents" is a prerequisite for payment.
3) Actively inform clients in email communication that "according to Chinese customs requirements, this product's export requires the provision of XX documents, which are expected to be ready within X working days," demonstrating proactive and compliant awareness.
4) If the client specifies a freight forwarder, ensure the contract stipulates that "any delays or fines caused by document issues shall be borne by the responsible party."
Remember: Providing clients with a clear materials schedule in advance greatly enhances trust and confidence.
