Importing Chemical Raw Materials and Fertilizers 2026: Payments and Dangerous Goods

In 2026, chemical raw materials have become a critical component for global manufacturing. Polymers, additives, reagents, and fertilizers — a large portion of these products originate from China and India. However, Foreign Economic Activity (VED) in this sector is associated with stringent safety requirements and payment transparency.

How do you ensure a stable supply of raw materials and avoid bank blocks?

1. Documentation and Hazard Classes

In the chemical industry, documentation is 90% of your success.

• MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet): A fundamental document that must be translated and verified before dispatch.
• Hazard Class (ADR/IMDG): Determines the mode of transport and packaging requirements.
• Product Declaration: Customs strictly audits chemical compositions for precursors and prohibited substances.

2. Logistics: Specialized Transport

In 2026, transporting chemicals requires a specific approach.

• Tank Containers: For liquid cargo.
• Maritime Shipping: The bulk moves in specialized containers through major regional ports.
• Bonded Warehouses: Ensure the chosen warehouse has a license to store dangerous goods of your specific class.

3. Finance: Bank Compliance in the Chemical Industry

Banks classify the chemical industry as high-risk due to the potential for dual-use goods. To ensure your international payments proceed without delay:

1. Provide the bank with a full technical description and the intended use of the raw material in advance.
2. Utilize Yuan settlements via Onex. Our partners in China have deep expertise in receiving payments for industrial chemicals.
3. Undergo VED financial monitoring with the support of our specialists. We help prepare the necessary explanations for the bank.
