Lead dioxide, a key chemical raw material widely used in rubber, coatings, plastics and other industries, plays a pivotal role in global trade. As the world's largest producer of lead dioxide, China continues to lead the global market in exports. However, as a class 5.1 dangerous goods, lead dioxide requires very high professional operation and safety management in the process of shipping export. So, what do you need to pay attention to the export of lead dioxide by sea? What processes and data are essential?
First, we must gain a deeper understanding of the properties and potential risks of lead dioxide. Lead dioxide, also known as lead peroxide, UN number 1872, Cas No.1309-60-0, the main packaging category is Class III, is a brown-black crystal or powder, with insoluble in water and alcohol, soluble in acetic acid and sodium hydroxide properties. More important, however, is the potential harm to human health and the environment. Long-term or repeated exposure to lead dioxide can lead to organ damage, cancer risk, and even harm to fertility and the fetus. Therefore, in the process of shipping export, we must strictly abide by the relevant regulations and operating procedures to ensure the safety of personnel and the stability of goods.
In addition, the operator of lead dioxide must be specially trained, it is recommended that the operator wear self-priming filter dust mask, wear chemical safety protective glasses, wear rubber cloth anti-poison clothing, wear latex gloves; Avoid dust generated during operation, avoid contact with reducing agents and alkaline earth metals, and light loading and unloading during handling, to prevent damage to packaging and containers, and thoroughly wash face and hands after operation.
Sungreen Logistics reminds us that when preparing to export lead dioxide, we first need to prepare a complete set of customs declaration documents. Such information includes packing list, invoice, contract, customs declaration, declaration agent and declaration elements. These documents are necessary for customs clearance and are key to ensuring that lead dioxide can be exported smoothly.
In addition to the customs declaration, we also need to provide the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) in English. The MSDS is a comprehensive regulatory document that contains information on chemical characteristics, hazards, safe operation, and emergency treatment. For dangerous goods such as lead dioxide, MSDS are an integral part of the maritime export process. It is not only an important basis for the shipping company, the port, the customs and other parties to understand the nature of the goods, but also the key to ensure the safety and control of the goods in the transportation process.
In addition, we also need to provide a dangerous bag certificate. Dangerous bag certificate is the result of the evaluation of dangerous goods packaging, which is used to export dangerous goods to countries and regions that require dangerous bag certificate. According to the IMDG (International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code) packing type applicable to the exported products, we need to provide the corresponding dangerous bag certificate. The processing process of this certificate is relatively complicated. Sungreen Logistics provides the agency of commodity inspection service for dangerous package certificate, which greatly saves the time and cost of users. But it is this series of strict processes that ensure the safety of lead dioxide during transportation.
After preparing all the necessary documents and documents, we can begin to arrange for the export by sea. In this process, we need to pay special attention to the packaging and storage requirements of lead dioxide. Due to the high risk of lead dioxide, its packaging must comply with relevant international standards and regulations. At the same time, during the storage process, we also need to pay attention to maintaining ventilation, avoiding fire sources, preventing dust generation and other safety measures.
Of course, the mere preparation of these documents and information is not enough. As a professional dangerous goods forwarder, we also need to have a wealth of industry knowledge and experience. We need to understand the regulatory requirements of different countries and regions, the customs operation process and the operating norms of the shipping company. Only in this way can we provide our customers with more professional and efficient services to ensure that goods can reach their destinations safely and on time.
During the transportation process, we also need to pay close attention to the status and transportation of the goods. Through the real-time shipping information and cargo tracking system, we can always grasp the dynamics of the cargo, to ensure the safety and control of the cargo during transportation. At the same time, we also need to maintain close communication with relevant parties such as shipping companies and terminals to coordinate and solve various problems that may arise.
Of course, in addition to the above professional operation and safety management, Sungreen Logistics pays more attention to providing customers with intimate and thoughtful service. We know that every customer wants to export their goods smoothly and efficiently. Therefore, we will provide personalized solutions and professional advice according to the needs and actual situation of our customers. Whether it is customs declaration, booking or cargo tracking, we will follow up and communicate in a timely manner to ensure that customers can complete the export task with confidence and satisfaction.
