Are zinc sulfate monohydrate, ferrous sulfate monohydrate, and manganese sulfate monohydrate considered general cargo, and how should they be declared for export? | Q&As

Specific Q: Our company plans to export chemical products through the Qinzhou Port in Guangxi, including zinc sulfate monohydrate (HS CODE 28332930.00), ferrous sulfate monohydrate (HS CODE 28332910.00), and manganese sulfate monohydrate (HS CODE 28332990.90). Our business license includes chemical products (excluding hazardous chemicals, precursors chemicals, and highly toxic chemicals). We would like to know if these three chemical products are considered general cargo and whether they can be normally declared for export.

A: Hello, the involved commodity codes are 28332930.00 and 28332910.00, which are non-inspection goods, while commodity code 28332990.90 is an inspection good. According to the General Administration of Customs Announcement No. 129, 2020, Article 1 states: "Customs shall inspect imported and exported hazardous chemicals listed in the national 'Catalogue of Hazardous Chemicals' (latest version)." Please verify whether the involved commodities are included in the national 'Catalogue of Hazardous Chemicals' (latest version). If non-inspection goods are listed in the 'Catalogue of Hazardous Chemicals' (latest version), then according to the General Administration of Customs Announcement No. 89, 2018, inspection should be declared to the place-of-origin customs before customs declaration. If non-inspection goods are not listed in the 'Catalogue of Hazardous Chemicals' (latest version), then customs declaration can be made directly without inspection. Commodity code 28332990.90 is an inspection good and also requires inspection to be declared to the place-of-origin customs according to the General Administration of Customs Announcement No. 89, 2018, followed by customs declaration.
