Breaking Barriers in Dangerous Goods Export: Harvest Ink Delivers Printing Ink to Myanmar with Full Compliance

Zhongshan, Guangdong — July 2026 — Zhongshan Huaye Ink Coatings Co., Ltd. (Harvest Ink), a leading printing ink manufacturer in China, has successfully completed a full-cycle export of printing ink to Myanmar — overcoming the stringent regulatory challenges of shipping Class 3 dangerous goods.

The Challenge: Exporting Class 3 Hazardous Materials

Printing inks — particularly solvent-based inks and certain gravure inks — are classified as Class 3 dangerous goods (flammable liquids) under international maritime regulations. Exporting such materials demands rigorous documentation, certified packaging, and precise coordination across multiple regulatory bodies. A single oversight can lead to cargo rejection, customs detention, or costly delays.

For this shipment to Myanmar, Harvest Ink's logistics team managed every step of the compliance chain with zero margin for error.

Full Compliance: What We Handled

The export process involved securing four critical certifications:

Dangerous Goods Packaging Certificate 

1. — Ensuring all ink containers met UN packaging standards for Class 3 flammable liquids, verified by China's inspection authorities.

Bilingual MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet)

2. — Providing comprehensive safety documentation in both Chinese and English, covering chemical composition, handling precautions, and emergency response procedures for our

solvent-based inks and gravure inks Maritime Transportation Identification Report 

3. — Obtaining the mandatory DG classification report from an authorized testing institute to confirm safe stowage and segregation requirements during ocean freight.

ASEAN Form E Certificate of Origin

4. — Assisting the Myanmar buyer in securing preferential tariff treatment under the ASEAN-China Free Trade Area (ACFTA), significantly reducing import duties at Yangon customs.

Seamless End-to-End Logistics

Beyond documentation, the operation spanned:

Domestic customs clearance

• — Filing accurate DG declarations at the Chinese port of departure

Dangerous goods container booking

• — Matching the shipment to a DG-certified vessel with appropriate IMDG Code segregation

Cargo securing & lashing

• — Reinforced packing and stowage for ocean transit stability
