由 caicai8478 I. Challenges of exporting magnetic products
Magnetic digital accessories (such as wireless chargers, Bluetooth headsets, speakers, etc.) face special challenges in international transportation:
Aviation safety restrictions: Magnetic materials may interfere with aircraft navigation systems
Complex customs classification: Different countries have different regulatory requirements for magnetic products
Strict testing standards: Professional magnetic testing (such as IATA standards) is required
High packaging requirements: Special anti-magnetic packaging is required to prevent magnetic field interference during transportation
II. Key export preparation steps
- Product testing and certification
Magnetic test: Measure the magnetic field strength on the surface of the product (usually required to be ≤0.00525 Gauss)
UN38.3 certification: Required for magnetic products containing lithium batteries
CE/FCC certification: Basic requirements for the EU and US markets
RoHS testing: Ensure compliance with environmental standards
- Correct declaration and classification
HS code selection: Accurately declare the product category (such as 8517.62.00 for Bluetooth headsets)
MSDS report: Provide material safety data sheet
Magnetic declaration: Clearly state the magnetic properties of the product
- Professional packaging solution
Anti-magnetic packaging: use μ metal shielding or special lining
Double packaging: inner packaging is anti-magnetic, outer packaging is shockproof
Obvious labeling: mark “magnetic material” and UN number
III. Logistics solution
- Transportation mode selection
Air transportation: need to pass IATA magnetic detection and provide a test report
Sea transportation: relatively loose but still need to comply with IMDG rules
Dedicated logistics: choose a freight forwarder with experience in transporting magnetic products
- Special treatment
Demagnetization treatment: demagnetize non-essential magnetic parts
Magnetic shielding container: use professional transportation containers for highly magnetic products
Batch transportation: reduce the magnetic strength of a single batch of goods
IV. Target market response strategy
EU market:
Comply with REACH regulations
Provide DoC declaration of compliance
Register EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility)
US market:
FCC ID certification
Comply with CPSC safety standards
Amazon platform special requirements (such as magnet size restrictions)
Japanese market:
PSE certification (round or diamond)
Japanese labels and instructions
V. Solutions to common problems
Question 1: The product was detained by customs due to magnetism?
Solution: Provide complete test reports and certification documents immediately, and apply for re-testing if necessary
Question 2: Logistics company refuses to accept magnetic products?
Solution: Communicate with freight forwarders in advance, choose professional sensitive goods channels, and consider prepaid tariff services
Question 3: Customers are worried that the magnetism of the product will affect the use?
Solution: Provide a description of the product’s magnetic field range and demonstrate the use effect at a safe distance
VI. Reference to successful cases
Export strategy of a Shenzhen Bluetooth headset manufacturer:
Invest in establishing an internal magnetic testing laboratory
Establish long-term cooperation with professional anti-magnetic packaging suppliers
Fixed use of DHL sensitive goods channels
Prepare for target market certification 6 months in advance
Results: Annual export volume increased by 300%, and the return rate was less than 0.5%
Through systematic preparation and professional operation, magnetic digital accessories can be exported smoothly. The key lies in advance planning, professional testing and choosing the right logistics partner.
