Regulations and procedures for the customs release of imported chemical shipments via customs entry points.
The Environment Public Authority is committed to protecting the environment and regulating the handling of hazardous materials within the country. The approved release mechanism relies on three key steps that ensure the highest standards of safety and transparency:
* **Document Verification and Review:** A comprehensive examination of data and documents accompanying the shipments, including import permits and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS).
* **Laboratory Verification:** Sampling and testing at Authority-accredited laboratories to ensure compliance with environmental and health specifications and requirements.
* **Final Approval:** Review and verification of the complete technical file by the Chemical Safety Department to issue final approval for customs release.
The Chemical Safety Department emphasized its commitment to streamlining procedures and expediting document processing for importing companies, while ensuring full compliance with the Environmental Protection Law.
