IMDG-Compliant Dangerous Goods Shipping: China Port Requirements & Logistics Solutions
Shipping dangerous goods (DG) requires strict compliance with international regulations and deep knowledge of port-specific procedures. As a leading DG shipping agency, EASTERN CARGO ensures seamless transportation from China’s major ports, adhering to IMDG, IATA, and local DG handling rules. This guide covers key requirements for dangerous goods shipping from China, highlighting port operations, documentation, and how our expertise ensures safe, efficient delivery.
1. China’s Dangerous Goods Shipping Regulations
China enforces stringent controls on DG exports, requiring:
Proper Classification & Documentation: Shippers must classify goods according to UN numbers and provide a Dangerous Goods Declaration (DGD), MSDS, and packaging certificates.
Approved Packaging: All DG shipments must use UN-certified containers with correct labeling (hazard symbols, orientation arrows).
Pre-Shipment Inspections: Chinese ports (Shanghai, Ningbo, Qingdao, Shenzhen) often conduct inspections before loading.
EASTERN CARGO’s Role: We verify documentation, ensure correct labeling, and coordinate with customs to prevent delays.
2. Key China Port Requirements for DG Exports
Different Chinese ports have specific DG handling rules:
Shanghai Port: Requires 48-hour pre-notification for hazardous cargo and restricts certain DG types during peak seasons.
Ningbo Port: Mandates fireproof storage for Class 3 (flammable liquids) before loading.
Qingdao Port : Strictly enforces IMDG segregation rules on vessels.
EASTERN CARGO’s Expertise: Our team manages port submissions, storage bookings, and carrier coordination to meet deadlines.
3. Destination Port Considerations
We ensure smooth DG discharge at global ports by:
