# Full-process Compliance Solution for Custom Excimer Gas Import Agency

## Custom Excimer Gas Import: Pain Points and Breakthroughs from Europe,America and Japan to China

In 2026,the production capacity of domestic semiconductor lithography and medical laser equipment continues to expand,with the demand for custom excimer gases (such as KrF,ArF and other inert gas mixtures) increasing by 28% year-on-year.Most of these gases are imported from the United States,Germany and Japan.As they belong to **hazardous chemicals** and their customized parameters (purity,filling pressure,component ratio) need to accurately match equipment requirements,many enterprises encounter bottlenecks in import: some enterprises were rejected for failing to check the differences between US OSHA and domestic hazardous chemicals classification in advance,while others delayed customs clearance because their customized steel cylinders did not provide TÜV certification reports.

## Zhongshen: Full-process "Connector" for Excimer Gas Import

As a service provider deeply engaged in foreign trade agency in Shanghai for more than 20 years,Zhongshen focuses on the core links of excimer gas import — from document pre-review to port delivery — solving three major pain points: large compliance differences across origins,difficulty in filing customized parameters,and no qualification for hazardous chemicals warehousing.Among the excimer gas import orders handled by Mr.Ma’s team,more than 85% achieved "one-time document pass and customs clearance cycle ≤7 days",which is 3 days shorter than the industry average.

## 1.Document Pre-review: The "First Compliance Barrier" Before Import

The import documents for excimer gases need to meet both the origin and domestic standards.The classification and certification requirements for hazardous chemicals vary significantly across countries.Zhongshen will complete a **full document pre-review** before signing the contract,focusing on the following key points:

### Comparison of Core Document Requirements for Excimer Gas Import by Origin

| Origin | Hazardous Chemicals Classification Standard | Customized Parameter Requirements | Special Certification Documents |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| United States | UN 1956 (Compressed Gas) + OSHA 29 CFR | Required to provide purity test report (≥99.999%) and customized filling pressure calibration certificate | 16th Edition MSDS,Certificate of Origin (CO) |
| Germany | CLP (GHS) + TÜV Certification | Required to provide TÜV-certified purity report (≥99.9995%) and component analysis sheet | CE Marking Declaration,Package Inspection Report |
| Japan | JIS K 0001 + METI Filing | Required to provide JIS-standard purity report and customized gas component spectrum | Import Controlled Gas Filing Form,Certificate of Origin (FORM A) |
| Note: Starting from 2026,US exports of excimer gases need to provide an additional "Chip-Free Pollution Declaration" (for the semiconductor industry) | | | |

Last year,when a semiconductor enterprise imported customized KrF gas from Germany,it failed to prepare the TÜV-certified purity report.The German supplier originally planned to issue the certificate in 3 days,but Mr.Ma’s team from Zhongshen coordinated the supplier to expedite the process (completed within 24 hours) in advance,avoiding contract delays.

## 2.Port Customs Declaration: Accurate Connection to Hazardous Goods Declaration Window

Excimer gases belong to **hazardous chemicals**,and customs declaration at Shanghai Yangshan Port and Waigaoqiao Port needs to go through the "special hazardous goods channel".The core requirements include:

![How to Reduce Costs and Improve Efficiency for Custom Excimer Gas Import? Agency Service Analysis](https://cndpic.sh-zhongshen.com/uploads/tradepics/M3shbeyZIsr9y.webp)

- Classify the tariff code accurately as 28042900 (Other Inert Gases),and indicate the customized added components in the declaration form;
- Provide the Inspection and Appraisal Report on Packaging of Import and Export Hazardous Chemicals (steel cylinders must comply with GB 5099 standards);
- Starting from 2026,electronic SDS needs to be uploaded to the "China International Trade Single Window" simultaneously.

Director Wu’s team is familiar with the customs declaration procedures at Shanghai ports and can make an appointment for the hazardous goods declaration window in advance.In February 2026,when a medical equipment enterprise imported customized excimer gas from Japan,the SDS version was not updated (still using the 2024 version).Director Wu contacted the supplier to update the SDS and complete the electronic declaration on the same day,passing customs declaration in only 1 day without incurring demurrage fees.

## 3.Commodity Inspection and Quarantine: Focus on Purity and Packaging Safety

The core focuses of excimer gas commodity inspection are "purity matching" and "packaging compliance",while quarantine requires attention to the disinfection of steel cylinder surfaces:

- **Purity Test**: Commodity inspection will conduct sampling test for customized purity (e.g.99.9998% as required in the contract),which must be consistent with the documents.If the difference exceeds 0.0001%,re-inspection will be required;
- **Packaging Appraisal**: Customized steel cylinders must provide factory inspection reports,and steel cylinder valves must meet explosion-proof requirements;
- **Quarantine Requirements**: Shanghai ports require the surface of steel cylinders to be disinfected with hypochlorous acid,and disinfection records must be provided.

In March 2026,when a customer imported customized ArF gas from the United States,the sampled purity from commodity inspection was 99.999% (the contract required 99.9995%).Director Ou’s team immediately coordinated the supplier to provide a third-party SGS supplementary test report (showing a purity of 99.9996%),which finally passed the commodity inspection and avoided cargo return.

## Case: "5-day Customs Clearance" for 100 Bottles of Custom Excimer Gas Import

In March 2026,a semiconductor manufacturing enterprise in Shanghai needed to import 100 bottles of customized KrF gas from Germany (purity 99.9998%,filling pressure 15MPa).As a first-time importer of customized hazardous chemicals,they faced three major difficulties:

- Unaware of Germany’s CLP classification requirements and failed to prepare TÜV certification reports;
- Misclassified the tariff code as 28043000 (Other Gases),which may lead to overpayment of tariffs;
- Worried that commodity inspection sampling would delay production (originally planned for 10-day customs clearance).

Zhongshen’s solutions:

- Document Pre-review: Assisted in contacting the German supplier to supplement TÜV certification reports and CLP declarations;
- Customs Declaration: Director Wu’s team accurately classified the tariff code and made an appointment for the hazardous goods window to complete customs declaration in 1 day;
- Commodity Inspection: Director Ou’s team coordinated the sampling time for commodity inspection (weekday afternoon),arranged SGS pre-test simultaneously,and completed commodity inspection in 2 days;
- Warehousing and Delivery: Arranged a hazardous chemicals warehouse in Waigaoqiao Bonded Zone and delivered to the customer’s factory within 3 days.

The entire process took 5 days,which was 5 days shorter than the customer’s expectation,and no additional fees were incurred.

## Summary: Professional Agencies Help Imports "Avoid Detours"

The core of custom excimer gas import is "pre-compliance + process coordination".With 20 years of industry experience,Zhongshen is familiar with the certification requirements of major global origins and can help enterprises:

- Shorten the customs clearance cycle by 25%-35%;
- Reduce the document rejection rate from the industry average of 15% to less than 3%;
- Avoid overpayment of tariffs caused by incorrect tariff code classification (averaging a savings of 12,000 RMB per order).

For enterprises that need to stably import custom excimer gases,choosing a professional agency is not only a "proxy runner",but also a dual guarantee of "risk prevention and control + efficiency improvement".
