The Chemical Company regularly imports chemicals from around the world. When doing so there are numerous regulations that must be adhered to in each country. So prior to any import we have to do the research to assure that we are in compliance with all regulations. In the USA there are chemicals where it is quite simple to confirm which regulations apply and we can complete importation rather promptly. There are other chemicals that are banned substances that cannot be imported. Finally there are chemicals that require very special procedures in order to import.
In all there are as many as ten federal departments that could be involved when importing products into the US. The fines can run into astronomical numbers if you are in violation. One federal department has fines of $37,000 dollars per day for violations and a minimum fine of $2,600.00 if you don’t check the correct box on the import form. It is extremely important that experts handle documentation when importing any quantity of chemicals or chemical blends
The Chemical Company has bolstered our regulatory department with the addition of Dr. Dennis Migneault a PhD chemist. Dr. Migneault is on staff to review and qualify imports world-wide. Dennis works with all levels of our company at making sure that we conform to all regulations when shipping a product in the US or internationally. This not only protects our company, it also protects our customers and suppliers.
The Chemical Company provides additional protection to companies dealing with us so we won’t make a mistake that could cost you millions of dollars. So when customers request information on us for an import your patience is appreciated. This is part of our effort to protect our company, your company, and our suppliers from the consequences of improper chemical handling.
