Customs Clearance Chemical Industry

• We clear your feedstocks from Asia — solvents, inorganic acids, pigments — in tank containers or IBCs via NL/BE ports. You receive customs-conformant transport documents ready for onward movement.
• We export your finished chemicals and specialty products into regulated markets (US EPA, REACH-equivalent systems in UK and Switzerland). You send us the SDS and trade docs; we handle export declaration and end-use screening.
• We clear dangerous goods in transit through the EU under T1 with ADR transport documents on the road leg. You get a signed transport document set before the truck leaves.
• We coordinate authorisation and pre-notification under Reg. (EC) 273/2004 with the BLE for drug precursors — acetic anhydride, potassium permanganate, red phosphorus. You supply substance data and end-use declaration; we handle the BLE correspondence.
• We clear CBAM-relevant imports — hydrogen, ammonia, nitric acid and other inorganic basic chemicals. We request embedded CO₂-equivalent figures from your non-EU manufacturer and submit quarterly CBAM reports on your behalf.
• We set up Inward Processing for your toll synthesis: non-EU feedstock in, EU active ingredient out. You keep import-duty suspension for the duration of processing.

If you import substances above 1 tonne per year into the EU, you are subject to registration under REACH Regulation 1907/2006. Where your non-EU manufacturer has appointed an Only Representative in the EU, you are released from own registration as a downstream user. You send us the CAS number and supplier details; we match the substance against the ECHA registration database, verify the registration number and cross-check the SDS against REACH Annex II. We hold REACH dossier references in your file so every subsequent import clears without delay. If a registration is missing, we do not file — we will not let you walk into fines and market bans.

We audit your CLP labelling (Reg. 1272/2008) for GHS pictograms, H and P statements and signal words, and reconcile it against the ATLAS declaration. You send us the label samples or artwork before shipment; we flag any gap. For onward dispatch into other EU member states, CLP requires labels in the respective local language — this is frequently missing in Asian supply chains. You receive a pre-import label compliance report, not a relabelling bill at the warehouse.

• We clear ADR consignments (road, rail RID) with UN number, class, packing group and transport document, and coordinate directly with your dangerous goods safety adviser.
• We process IMDG consignments (sea) — stowage code, IMDG transport document, container packing certificate and segregation rules included. You receive a complete document set before vessel loading.
• We handle IATA DGR air freight: UN number with Y prefix on passenger cargo, shipper's declaration, operator variations of individual airlines. You send us the DG data sheet; we produce the compliant declaration.
• We verify your transport documents before loading and stop carrier refusal at port or airport before it happens.

We coordinate authorisation and pre-notification under Reg. (EC) 273/2004 and (EC) 111/2005 with the BLE and the Generalzolldirektion for drug precursors — acetic anhydride, pseudoephedrine, potassium permanganate, phenylacetic acid and others. You send us the substance list, supplier identity and end-use declaration; we handle all BLE correspondence. For imports from China, India or Mexico we screen supplier and end-use up front. On red flags in your supply chain we stop the consignment before it arrives — we want neither a BtMG investigation nor a seizure on your side or ours.

We check your TARIC positions against Annex I of CBAM Regulation 2023/956 — hydrogen (HS 2804.10), ammonia (2814), nitric acid (2808) and fertilisers in HS Chapter 31 are covered. You provide us with the supplier details; we request embedded emissions (CO₂-equivalent per tonne) from your non-EU manufacturer. Where the manufacturer cannot supply figures, we apply EU default values as fallback per Art. 26. We submit your quarterly transition-period reports and, from 2026, organise CBAM certificate purchases on your behalf. You receive a quarterly CBAM compliance pack, not a surprise penalty notice.

We screen your substances against Annex I of EU Dual-Use Regulation 2021/821 — CWC-relevant chemicals (Chemical Weapons Convention) and specialty lubricants for high-precision applications are listed there. Explosive precursors such as hydrogen peroxide above 35 percent fall under EU Explosives Precursors Regulation 2019/1148 (Annex I) with its own authorisation and notification requirements — we handle that separately. We obtain BAFA authorisation on your behalf, conduct the end-use review and screen supplier, UBO and bank against EU sanctions lists (Russia, Iran, Belarus, Syria). You receive a fully documented audit trail for your compliance file.

• Import without REACH registration evidence: we prevent market bans and enforcement fines by pre-checking against the ECHA database before every declaration.
• Wrong packing group in IMDG: we verify the transport document before loading, so the carrier does not reject at port and no demurrage clock starts.
• Drug precursor without pre-notification: we coordinate authorisation and BLE pre-notification before the shipment moves — stopping seizure and BtMG investigation before they start.
• Missed CBAM quarterly report: we submit your reports on time and avoid fines of at least EUR 100 per non-surrendered tonne of CO₂-equivalent from 1 January 2026 (Art. 26 Reg. 2023/956).
• Label in English instead of the destination-country language: we flag CLP language gaps before import so you receive compliant labels and avoid relabelling costs and contract disputes at the consignee.
