# Analysis on Customs Clearance Difficulties and Full-Process Compliance Operation of Imported Coatings in Yangzhou

As an important manufacturing base in the Yangtze River Delta,Yangzhou’s shipbuilding,auto parts and high-end machinery processing industries maintained strong growth momentum in 2026.These industries have increasingly growing demand for high-performance industrial coatings and special anti-corrosion coatings,leading to a continuous rise in the volume of coating imports from Europe,Japan,South Korea and North America.However,with the country’s increasing efforts in ecological environment protection,the General Administration of Customs has fully implemented digitalized and tightened regulation on hazardous chemicals and general chemical products in 2026.Due to complex composition,multiple hazardous chemical classifications and strict label requirements,imported coatings have become a key object of customs inspection.Many local enterprises in Yangzhou that handle import business by themselves often fall into the dilemma of cargo detention at port,return shipment and even administrative penalties due to unfamiliarity with the latest regulations or insufficient document preparation.

As a professional foreign trade import and export agency with more than 20 years of deep industry experience,Zhongshen plays a vital role in Yangzhou imported coating agency services.We not only provide traditional logistics and customs declaration services,but our core value lies in conducting a compliance "physical examination" on products before cargo shipment by virtue of professional chemical knowledge base and customs clearance experience.By accurately identifying whether coatings belong to hazardous chemicals and assisting enterprises to complete necessary filing and registration,Zhongshen can effectively eliminate uncertainty in the declaration process and ensure smooth customs clearance of goods at Yangzhou Port.

## Document Pre-Audit and Pre-Placement of Import Filing

The first threshold of imported coating is not at the port,but at the document preparation stage.The "Single Window" system in 2026 has extremely high requirements for the completeness of customs declaration filling elements,any minor data logic error may trigger system warning.Upon receiving the client’s entrustment,Zhongshen will immediately start the document pre-audit procedure,focus on reviewing the following key documents to ensure they meet the latest requirements of Chinese national standards and General Administration of Customs orders.

- **Hazardous Chemical Public Notice Label:** In accordance with the *Regulations on Safety Administration of Hazardous Chemicals* and GB15258-2019 standard,review whether the chemical name,hazard pictogram and warning word on the Chinese label are accurate,and it must be pasted or printed on the smallest sales package.
- **MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet):** Confirm whether the MSDS version is the latest (usually required within 2 years),and the information in Section 2 (composition information) must be consistent with customs declaration elements.Concealing composition or inconsistent proportion is the main cause of inspection failure.
- **Coating Filing Application:** For some coatings imported for the first time or for specific purposes,confirm whether it is necessary to file with the relevant inspection and quarantine department in advance and obtain the *Imported Coating Filing Certificate*.
- **Certificate of Origin and Contract:** Check whether the shipping mark on the certificate of origin completely matches the actual cargo,ensure the authenticity of trade background and avoid price declaration risks.

## Decomposition of Port Customs Declaration and Commodity Inspection Process

After the cargo arrives at Yangzhou Port or surrounding ports,it officially enters the customs declaration and commodity inspection link.Since most coatings are legally inspected commodities,which require statutory inspection,"inspection declaration" and "customs declaration" are usually carried out in parallel or successively.Zhongshen’s operation team will formulate an accurate declaration strategy according to the HS code and properties of the coating.

### Customs Declaration and Element Standardization

In the electronic declaration link,declarers must accurately enter required items such as "brand","model","composition content","usage" (e.g.for automobile manufacturing,for ship anti-corrosion) in the customs declaration system.For coatings containing flammable solvents,they must be correctly declared as hazardous chemicals.Through the internal declaration element database,Zhongshen can quickly match the standardized declaration requirements for various coatings,avoid queries from the customs document review center caused by vague elements.

### Customs Inspection and Sampling Testing

After the customs accepts the declaration,it will inspect the goods according to the risk control instruction.For imported coatings,the inspection focuses on the integrity of cargo packaging,the standardization of Chinese labels and the consistency of cargo properties.If the customs arranges sampling,the goods need to be moved to the designated supervision site for sampling,and sent to a professional laboratory to test mandatory national standard items such as free formaldehyde,heavy metals and volatile organic compounds (VOC).At this stage,Zhongshen will assist clients to cooperate with customs unpacking,coordinate the terminal and testing institutions,track the testing progress throughout the process.Once abnormal test results occur,we will immediately activate the emergency plan,assist enterprises to carry out technical rectification or compliance handling,and minimize the port storage fee caused by long testing cycle.

| Coating Type | Supervision Requirement | Main Testing Items | Inspection Risk Level |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Water-based Coating | A (Entry Goods Clearance Certificate)/B (Entry Commodity Inspection and Quarantine) | Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC),Formaldehyde,Benzene Series | Medium |
| Solvent-based Coating (containing flammable solvent) | A/B / Supervision Inspection Catalogue | Flash Point,Density,Volatile Organic Compounds,Heavy Metals | High |
| Powder Coating | A/B | Heavy Metals,Phthalate Esters | Low |

## Practical Case: How to Resolve Label Non-Compliance Risk

Mr.Ge,the head of a high-end ship supporting equipment manufacturing enterprise in Yangzhou,once entrusted a logistics company unfamiliar with chemical properties to import a batch of special anti-corrosion paint from Germany at the end of 2025.After the cargo arrived at Yangzhou Port,customs inspection found that the Chinese hazard public notice label on the outer packaging was not updated,still using the old version of GB standard,and lacked the required environmental hazard warning word.The customs immediately detained the cargo,required the enterprise to rectify,and issued an *Administrative Penalty Decision*.This not only caused Mr.Ge’s production line to face the crisis of shutdown waiting for materials,but also generated high container detention fee and fine.

In the new project of 2026,Mr.Ge fully entrusted the import business to Zhongshen.Before the cargo left the port,Zhongshen’s document experts found that the color of the "flammable liquid" pictogram on the label draft provided by the foreign supplier did not meet China’s GHS standard.We immediately contacted Mr.Ge,guided him to communicate with the German factory,and required to reprint and replace all packaging labels before shipment.At the same time,regarding the description difference of "transportation classification" in MSDS,Zhongshen issued a professional rectification explanation letter,and conducted compliance consultation at Yangzhou Port in advance.Finally,after the batch of coatings arrived at the port,it was released immediately.Mr.Ge spoke highly of Zhongshen’s professional control in the pre-audit link,and believed that this is real "cost reduction and efficiency improvement".

## Core Value of Professional Agency Service

Imported coating business seems simple,but it actually involves intersecting fields of customs and inspection regulations,chemical safety standards and international trade terms.For manufacturing enterprises in Yangzhou,it is unwise to distract energy on complicated customs clearance details.The core value of the full-process,one-stop foreign trade agency solution provided by Zhongshen is that professional work is done by professionals.From the source document compliance review,to port-side customs declaration and inspection coordination,to subsequent foreign exchange payment and tax processing,we help enterprises maintain a smooth and efficient supply chain under the strict regulatory environment in 2026 through standardized operation procedures and rich practical experience,and completely avoid operational risks caused by compliance loopholes.
