# Complete Process Analysis and Compliance Operation Guide for Glue Import Customs Declaration

## Current Status and Core Difficulty Analysis of Glue Import

In 2026,with the continuous growth of demand for precision adhesives in China’s high-end manufacturing and electronic assembly industries,the business volume of glue imported from Germany,the United States,Japan,South Korea and other regions has increased significantly.However,as a typical chemical product,the import process of glue is often accompanied by complex dangerous goods classification and strict port supervision.In actual operations,many enterprises often face the risks of cargo detention at ports,return shipment and even administrative penalties due to insufficient understanding of the Catalog of Hazardous Chemicals and the latest regulatory policies,leading to inaccurate document declaration or non-compliant packaging.

The difficulties of glue import mainly focus on three aspects: first,the definition of product attributes is vague.Some glues do not contain "hazard" in their commercial names,but according to their composition and flash point data,they are actually Class 3 flammable liquids requiring strict control; second,the compliance of Chinese hazard notification labels.Customs have very high requirements for label format and information completeness,and any minor deviation may lead to unqualified inspection; finally,the randomness and timeliness of port inspection.Without professional pre-review and communication,it is very easy to encounter long delays in customs clearance,affecting the material supply of downstream production lines.

## Core Value of Zhongshen in Glue Import

Facing the complex import environment,Zhongshen has built a professional agency service system for glue products based on more than 20 years of experience in the industry.We are not just a simple customs declaration intermediary,but a compliance consultant deeply involved in supply chain management.In the process of glue import,our core role is reflected in accurate pre-risk control.Before goods are shipped,Zhongshen’s operation team will assist customers to conduct in-depth review of MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet),check against CAS number and hazard classification identification report,and confirm HS code and supervision conditions in advance.

Through this "pre-review" mechanism,we can effectively correct omissions of foreign suppliers in document preparation,and ensure high consistency of information such as invoices,packing lists,contracts and bills of lading.At the same time,for import licenses and import licenses for dual-use items and technologies involved in glue import,Zhongshen can provide professional guidance and agency services,ensuring that enterprises have all compliance qualifications before goods arrive at the port,thus minimizing customs clearance time.

## Complete Process Breakdown of Glue Import Customs Declaration

### Phase 1: Document Pre-review and Compliance Confirmation

Document preparation is the cornerstone of successful glue import.In this phase,Zhongshen will guide customers to collect and sort out a full set of core documents.Unlike ordinary goods,the particularity of glue import is that it must provide MSDS complying with GHS standards,hazard notification label samples and UN packaging marking certificate for packaging containers.

- **Basic Trade Documents:** Including contracts signed and sealed by both trading parties,commercial invoices,and packing lists.Special attention should be paid that gross weight,net weight and packaging type must be detailed on the packing list,such as "iron drum packaging".
- **Special Documents for Dangerous Goods:** MSDS report (usually requires complete 16 sections,with a validity period of two years),hazard notification label (with Chinese instructions),and the Enterprise Compliance Declaration for Import and Export of Hazardous Chemicals are required.
- **Transport Documents:** For sea freight,it is necessary to confirm that the consignor and consignee information on the bill of lading is consistent with that on the customs declaration form; for air freight,attention should be paid to the air transport condition identification report.

Zhongshen’s professional document reviewers will focus on checking whether the flash point data on MSDS is logically consistent with the declared product name.For example,if the declared product name is "epoxy resin glue",but MSDS shows that the flash point is lower than 60 degrees Celsius,we will immediately recommend operating in accordance with the hazardous chemical process and require foreign suppliers to provide the correct dangerous goods packaging certificate,to avoid detention due to "inconsistency between documents and goods" during port inspection.

### Phase 2: Port Customs Declaration and Dangerous Goods Declaration

After goods arrive at Shanghai Port,Zhongshen will quickly start the customs declaration procedure.For glue products,we usually adopt the "advance declaration" mode,and conduct electronic data declaration immediately after manifest data is transmitted.The core of this link is to accurately fill in the commodity code (HS Code).There are many types of glue,such as 35069000 (other adhesives based on rubber or polymer) or 32141000 (adhesives for construction such as wall coating),a small difference in the code will lead to huge differences in tariff rates and supervision conditions.

While declaring to customs,we also need to send dangerous goods declaration information to the Maritime Safety Administration and customs through the international trade "single window".Zhongshen’s operation specialists will strictly check the UN number,hazard class and packaging category to ensure that electronic data completely matches actual goods information.In response to risk control instructions from the customs system,we can respond immediately,cooperate with customs in physical inspection,and ensure that goods comply with the relevant provisions of the Import and Export Commodity Inspection Law and its implementation regulations.

### Phase 3: Commodity Inspection and Subsequent Supervision

Glue is a commodity subject to statutory inspection,and must go through on-site inspection or sampling inspection by customs.In this phase,Zhongshen’s on-site coordinator will play a key role.We will contact the port area in advance to arrange the inspection plan,and accompany customs officers to open containers for inspection.The inspection focus usually includes whether cargo packaging is intact,whether there is leakage,whether the Chinese hazard label is pasted in a prominent position,and whether the UN mark on the packaging is clearly visible.

If customs doubts the composition of goods and decides to sample for testing,Zhongshen will assist in following up the progress of laboratory testing and feedback test results to customers in a timely manner.Once the test is qualified,we will immediately assist customers to pay tariffs and value-added tax,and obtain the Entry Inspection and Quarantine Certificate.For glue that requires "off-site inspection" or "destination inspection",we will also assist in completing subsequent verification procedures to ensure that goods are legally put into use in the domestic market.

## Comparison of Key Parameters and Compliance Requirements for Glue Import

To more intuitively show the differences in import operations for different types of glue,the following table sorts out the supervision focus of common glue categories:

| Glue Type | Common HS Code | Hazard Attribute | Supervision Condition | Core Compliance Risk Point |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Cyanoacrylate (Instant Adhesive) | 3506.91.00 | UN1993 (Flammable Liquid) | A (Entry Goods Clearance Certificate) | MSDS inconsistent with actual flash point,packaging not using UN specification |
| Solvent-based Polyurethane Adhesive | 3208.90.90 | UN1133 (Flammable Liquid) | AB (Statutory Inspection and Commodity Inspection) | Contains controlled solvents,requires import license for dual-use items |
| Epoxy Resin AB Adhesive | 3506.10.00 | Depends on specific composition | B (Exit/Entry Goods Clearance Certificate) | Classification error when curing agent and main agent are declared separately |
| Anaerobic Adhesive (Thread Locker) | 3506.99.00 | UN3126 (Toxic Liquid) | A (Entry Goods Clearance Certificate) | Transport label does not indicate toxicity,lacks Section 14 transport information on MSDS |

## Practical Case: Avoiding Label Risks in Glue Import

At the end of 2025,Manager Pan of the purchasing department of a precision machinery manufacturing enterprise in Shanghai encountered a thorny problem.A batch of industrial-grade sealant imported from the United States by the enterprise was detained at Pudong Airport Customs.Customs inspection found that although the outer packaging of the goods was affixed with a Chinese label,the size of the "hazard warning pictogram" on the label was too small,and the "emergency consultation telephone number" was not marked,which did not meet the requirements of the newly revised Regulations on Safety Management of Hazardous Chemicals in 2024.Since the enterprise could not provide a rectification plan in a short time,this batch of glue urgently needed for production line assembly faced the risk of return shipment,which would lead to several days of factory shutdown and huge losses.

Manager Pan contacted Zhongshen urgently for assistance.After receiving the entrustment,our project team immediately sent a specialist to the customs supervised warehouse to understand the situation.With an accurate grasp of regulations,we quickly drafted a rectification description,and guided Manager Pan to contact the American factory to obtain the electronic version of the label that meets the requirements of national standard GB15258-2019.Zhongshen assisted the enterprise to complete the label pasting rectification in the port supervision area overnight,and took comparison photos before and after rectification and submitted them to customs for review.

During the rectification process,we not only solved the label size problem,but also found that the description of "ecotoxicity" in the original MSDS was not accurate enough.We assisted the enterprise to supplement the compliance statement,proving to customs that the environmental risk of this batch of glue is within the controllable range.Finally,customs accepted our rectification plan and released the goods within 24 hours.Manager Pan said afterwards that Zhongshen’s professional intervention not only avoided the high logistics cost of return shipment,but also guaranteed the factory’s production delivery schedule,which fully reflects the core value of professional agency in crisis management.

## Conclusion: Professional Agency Improves Import Efficiency and Safety

Glue import has always been a key area of customs supervision due to its hazardous chemical attributes.For enterprises not professionally engaged in chemical import,self-operation often faces huge compliance challenges.Through standardized document pre-review,accurate customs declaration and efficient on-site coordination,Zhongshen converts the complex import process into controllable service nodes.

In the trade environment of 2026,choosing Zhongshen as a partner,enterprises can not only obtain improved customs clearance efficiency,but also obtain a guarantee of compliance and safety.We will continue to pay attention to the latest policy trends of the General Administration of Customs and various ports on hazardous chemicals,assist enterprises to adjust their import strategies in advance,ensure that every glue import business can reach the production line at the fastest speed on the premise of compliance,and become a stable part of the enterprise’s supply chain.
