Process to Obtain MSDS Certificate/SDS Sheets for Exporters

The Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) or Safety Data Sheet (SDS), also known as chemical hazard information sheets or chemical safety data sheets, is an important document that describes high-level and detailed information about the physical, chemical, explosion and/or radiation characteristics of hazardous materials being shipped in order to meet international safety regulations. The MSDS is provided by the exporter and is issued by the manufacturer of the materials being shipped. The UN Number is stamped on the MSDS, which is used to classify hazardous materials during transport.

Because of the important role of MSDS in ensuring the safe handling, storage and transportation of hazardous goods, it is mandatory for use when exporting hazardous goods. The presence of the MSDS certificate when exporting hazardous good enables the exporter to facilitate customs clearance, to protect against transport risks and hazards, and to ensure workplace safety at the destination of the shipment.

The MSDS is also required for the completion of several international standards including the Globally Harmonized System (GHS), and the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) to avoid legal complications and avoid the creation of trade barriers. The MSDS provides critical information required to satisfy international regulations regarding the materials being shipped, including but not limited to, identification of product composition, potential hazards presented by the material, emergency response recommendations and storage requirements.
