Imported goods in group II are goods with high safety risks such as chemicals, fertilizers, industrial explosives, explosive precursors, inorganic fertilizers, textile products, etc. Therefore, the import documents and procedures are very strict and rigorous.

Import-export enterprises in the city need to proactively grasp and properly implement regulations on quality inspection registration to avoid risks and delays in customs clearance, causing unnecessary damage.

The TBT Agreement was created to ensure that technical regulations, standards and conformity assessment procedures do not create unnecessary or discriminatory barriers to trade. At the same time, it allows member countries to achieve legitimate policy objectives of protecting national security, protecting the environment, protecting human health and preventing counterfeiting and deceptive practices.
