Sample Preparation

• Sample weight ≤25 kg per shipment; liquid single bottle ≤1 L.
• Provide English MSDS (16‑section) with full composition.
• Use triple‑layer packaging: inner sealed container + shock‑absorbing foam + outer carton, leak‑proof.
• Powders require double plastic sealing to prevent dust leakage.
• Food‑grade or pharmaceutical‑grade samples must include analysis certificates.

Courier Options

• DHL Chemical Express — 3‑5 days, ideal for 1‑20 kg samples, door‑to‑door clearance in Dublin.
• FedEx EU Priority — Cost‑effective for 20‑100 kg, transits via Amsterdam to Dublin.
• UPS Ireland Direct — Preferred for pharma samples, 4‑6 days, customs clearance at Dublin Airport.

Process: MSDS review → classification → pick‑up in Shanghai → export declaration → air freight → Ireland clearance → delivery to lab/factory.

Step 1 – Pre‑Shipment Compliance Review

Client provides MSDS and composition. Our chemical compliance team verifies: REACH status, restricted substances, flammability/corrosivity. Only normal (non‑dangerous) chemicals are accepted. For food/pharma grades, we verify GMP and FSC certificates.

Step 2 – Packaging Compliance

• Liquids: sealed drums with inner liners, tape on lids to prevent leakage.
• Powders: double PE bags + moisture‑proof cartons with desiccants.
• FCL cargo: all units palletised and shrink‑wrapped to prevent shifting.
• Food/pharma grades: sterile inner bags and outer labels "FOOD GRADE".

Step 3 – Shanghai Export Customs

Compile complete documentation and submit via Single Window. If inspected, our on‑site staff explain the chemical properties to avoid detention. Food‑grade chemicals require pre‑declaration to CIQ.

Step 4 – Ireland Import Clearance

Forward MSDS and certificates to our Irish broker for REACH pre‑notification. Revenue Customs verifies hazardous substance content. Food/pharma products may be referred to FSAI (Food Safety Authority of Ireland) for compliance. After release, arrange final delivery.
