Shanghai, leveraging the Yangtze River Delta’s chemical industry cluster, has become a core hub for air transport of chemical products. Pudong Airport serves over 5,000 chemical plants within a 300-kilometer radius in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, supporting rapid shipping of 20+ categories including lithium batteries and pharmaceutical intermediates, with a daily handling capacity exceeding 200 metric tons.

Policy Advantage: Tiered Management + Green Channels
Shanghai implements tiered transport management for chemicals. Non-hazardous products can be declared as general cargo with a Cargo Transport Condition Identification Certificate, while hazardous goods utilize the airport’s dedicated dangerous goods channel, completing customs clearance, security checks, and loading within 6 hours.

Operational Guidelines

1. Documentation: Prepare MSDS reports and UN 38.3 test documents (for lithium batteries).
2. Packaging standards: Use UN-certified steel drums/plywood boxes with bilingual (Chinese/English) hazard labels.
3. Airline matching: Prioritize cargo flights from DG-certified carriers like China Eastern (MU) and Air China (CA).

Enterprise Service Upgrade
We integrate Shanghai’s self-operated hazardous goods warehouses and airline resources to provide “exemption from dangerous goods packaging certifications,” “rapid clearance,” and “global door-to-door delivery”, improving transit speed by 80% compared to land transport and empowering enterprises to seize opportunities in chemical trade.
