Efficient, Secure, and Compliant Export Solutions for Global Distributors
Why Shipping Auto Refinish Products Requires Expertise
Transporting automotive paints, thinners, and body fillers is not the same as shipping ordinary goods — they are classified as hazardous materials under international regulations.
A professional exporter must ensure safe packaging, accurate documentation, and full compliance with IMO and IATA standards to avoid delays and damage during transit.
At Gate Materials (Guangzhou, China), we have years of experience in safely exporting chemical coating products to Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and South America, helping distributors receive their goods efficiently and risk-free.
Step-by-Step Export Process
|
Step
|
Description
|
|
1. Product Categorization
|
Identify whether the item is classified as a hazardous chemical (e.g., paint, thinner, hardener).
|
|
2. Packaging Standardization
|
Use UN-certified packaging, anti-leak sealing, and clear hazard labeling for international compliance.
|
|
3. Document Preparation
|
Provide MSDS, TDS, dangerous goods declaration, and customs codes (HS 3208/3209/3214).
|
|
4. Container Loading & Palletizing
|
Goods are palletized, shrink-wrapped, and stacked safely to prevent shifting during transport.
|
|
5. Mixed Container Support
|
Combine body fillers, thinners, color toners, and clear coats in one consolidated 20HQ container to reduce freight cost.
|
|
6. Destination Support
|
Coordinate with destination agents for customs clearance and delivery.
