Customs Control

Customs control means compliance monitoring of obligations of industry from the management system for industrial chemicals by customs officials. This activity is part of the customs control of imported goods.

With medium resources the steps proposed for implementation of this sub-element are as follows:

  1. Customs control of the identity of imported chemicals using customs documents with the Harmonized System Code.
  2. Control the identity of chemicals and mixtures by inspecting the labels of imported priority chemicals and mixtures containing these chemicals (for example 5%) based on a simple risk assessment of the potential for a violation of customs regulations.
  3. Carry out some laboratory analysis to confirm the identity of the chemical or the chemical in the mixture. For this you can: 

a. Use other countries’ laboratories or national commercial laboratories funded by donor countries (a is limited resources); or

b. Use university laboratories in your country and finance some equipment, or pay for the analysis directly or through donor countries; or

c. Obtain donor support to set up government laboratories and to run them with your own resources (b and c are medium resources).
