由 lltx1822 Exporting Ceramic Knives: International Requirements and Precautions
Ceramic knives, valued for their sharpness and durability, also have export – related regulations. In Australia, ceramic knives are subject to biosecurity checks, especially if they are packaged with any organic materials. Declare all components of the knife, including the ceramic blade, handle materials, and packaging materials. Provide certificates of origin and any relevant quality certifications to facilitate the customs clearance process.
In the European Union, ceramic knives must comply with the REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals) regulation. This requires manufacturers and exporters to ensure that the materials used in the knives, especially any chemicals in the handle or coating, do not pose risks to human health or the environment. Conduct chemical analysis tests and provide reports to prove compliance.
When packaging ceramic knives, use materials that protect the fragile ceramic blades. Include instructions on proper handling and storage to prevent blade breakage during transportation and use.
