I am a salesperson at a foreign trade company and have just taken over the agency export business of German Wacker Adhesive. I have not handled chemical exports before and am completely confused. First, is Wacker Adhesive a dangerous good? What documents need to be filed in advance for export?
Also, our client is in Southeast Asia—what is more suitable: sea freight or air freight? I recently heard that customs will strictly review the prices of chemicals in 2026. Will they hold our goods? Additionally, for agency exports, how to handle foreign exchange settlement and tax rebates?
Will there be exchange rate differences or tax risks? A colleague of mine had goods detained due to incomplete documents before, which delayed the delivery time. I am very worried about making mistakes now. Can you help me sort out the key points of the entire process?

Customs supervision over chemical exports continues to tighten in 2026. Wacker Adhesive，as an organosilicon adhesive，must first complete pre-compliance checks: UN number verification is a core prerequisite. If its UN number is 3077 (environmental hazardous substance) or 3172，it must be declared as dangerous goods through the entire process，if it is an ordinary chemical，a third-party issued MSDS and chemical identification report must be provided.
The first step is pre-document review: complete the import and export enterprise filing in advance，provide Wacker Adhesive brand authorization sales certificate. For dangerous goods declaration，submit the "Dangerous Goods Transport Packaging Use Identification Result Sheet"，and complete the pre-declaration verification of the customs declaration form through the electronic port to ensure that the information such as commodity code and cargo value is consistent with the actual situation.
The second step is logistics path optimization: for Southeast Asian clients，direct sea freight is more cost-effective. Reserve space 30 days in advance and confirm the free detention period lock of the destination port to avoid demurrage fees. If choosing air freight，obtain IATA dangerous goods transportation certification，apply for air transport appraisal certificate in advance，and select a freight forwarder with dangerous goods transportation qualification.
The third step is compliance risk control implementation: The CIPS settlement system in 2026 has optimized the exchange rate difference space. You can choose RMB cross-border settlement to avoid exchange rate fluctuations. At the same time，ensure four-flow consistency verification (contract，invoice，logistics，capital) to avoid tax letter investigation risks. If customs raises price review doubts，prepare original factory invoices and third-party price appraisal reports in advance and cooperate to complete price consultations.
Finally，tax rebate and closing: Complete document filing within 15 days after the goods are declared，including customs declaration form，transport documents，MSDS，etc. Complete pre-declaration through the export tax rebate declaration system. Tax rebate can be handled after the letter investigation is passed. The whole process can monitor nodes in real time through the risk control system to ensure smooth and no omissions.

Wacker Adhesive, as an organosilicon adhesive, must first confirm its customs code. The latest code in 2026 is 3824909990 (non-dangerous goods) or the corresponding dangerous goods subheading. In the price review process, prepare original factory commercial invoices, brand authorization sales certificates, and third-party price appraisal reports in advance to prove the market fairness of the cargo value and avoid customs questioning the declared price due to related transactions. If price review doubts are encountered, you can submit supplementary materials through the customs price review objection procedure or apply for price consultation.
For integrated customs clearance declaration, ensure that the electronic port data is consistent with paper documents to avoid returns due to inconsistent information. Application for deleting and re-declaring must be submitted before the goods are released; otherwise, a delayed declaration fee will be incurred. For re-declaration, re-verify all document logic to ensure it completely matches the actual export goods and update the correspondence between the commodity description of the customs declaration form and HS code.

For the export logistics of Wacker Adhesive, priority should be given to compliant freight forwarders. International sea freight space is tight in 2026, so reserve direct space for Southeast Asia routes 30 days in advance and confirm the free detention period and free container detention period of the destination port.
For dangerous goods Wacker Adhesive, select a freight forwarder with dangerous goods transportation qualification, ensure packaging complies with IMDG rules, and provide dangerous goods declaration form and transport appraisal certificate. Bill of lading endorsement should be adjusted according to trade terms: under FOB terms, it is endorsed by the buyer; under CIF terms, it is endorsed by the seller and transferred to the buyer.
In case of cargo reallocation or space shortage, immediately coordinate with the freight forwarder to arrange reloading on other routes, explain the situation to the client and apply for delivery delay to avoid breach of contract compensation. Confirm the charging standards of container detention fees and demurrage fees with the freight forwarder in advance, and apply for the longest free detention period as much as possible to reduce additional costs.
