Chemical Industry Expertise

Chemical shipments carry more paperwork than most freight. Before a consignment is declared, someone has to confirm its UK REACH position, check the CLP labelling and make sure the dangerous goods documents match the mode of transport.

We do that as part of the clearance, for imports and exports by road, sea and air, so the regulatory documents are already in order when the goods reach customs.

Chemical Compliance & Regulations

Four sets of rules apply to most chemical consignments. We check each one before the goods move.

UK REACH Registration

We advise on whether your substance needs UK REACH registration and make sure the REACH documents travel with the shipment through customs.

CLP Classification & Labelling

We check that each product is classified, labelled and packaged under the CLP (Classification, Labelling and Packaging) regulations before it is imported.

ADR/IMDG/IATA Dangerous Goods

Dangerous goods documents prepared to the rules for each mode: ADR for road, IMDG for sea and IATA for air.

We prepare the paperwork for HSE notifications, environmental permits and any import licence a controlled substance needs.
