What are chemicals?

Chemicals are one of the materials used quite commonly in life.

In chemistry, Chemicals are also known as chemicals, is a product of the chemical industry. The concept of chemicals is clearly defined in Article 4 of the Law on Chemicals 2018. Accordingly:

• Chemicals are compounds or substances that are exploited by humans or created from artificial fuel sources, natural ingredients.

In import and export, Chemicals are denoted by unique series of numbers. Those numbers are Chemical Abstracts Service codes (CAS).

 

When performing the act of buying and selling, international trade, Normal items only need documents such as contracts, bill, packing slip.

However, only with chemicals, The seller must provide MSDS chemical safety instructions. When using this version, we will be able to check complete information about the chemicals, dangerous level, mother CAS.

Chemicals banned from import

Based on Appendix III of Decree 113/2017/ND-CP, Chemicals banned from import are highly dangerous. A typical example is Sarin, Taboo,… These are chemicals that are 26 times more life-threatening than cyanide.

That's why it is banned from use worldwide, including Vietnam.

However, in case of emergency, Those chemicals are used to perform good scientific research tasks Missdefense and security cooperation, Enterprises need the consent of the Prime Minister through the Ministry's proposal Misslove.

During the process of carrying out chemical import procedures, Businesses need to pay attention to goods that are banned from import. The list of prohibited goods according to Decree 113/2017/ND-CP includes:
