FAQ

Why is customs clearance testing so important?

In export trade, many companies often face a headache: not enough orders, but rather numerous obstacles encountered during the customs clearance process. Especially for food contact materials, which directly affect consumer health and safety, they have always been a focus of strict regulation by various countries' customs authorities.

During the customs clearance process, test reports become an indispensable hurdle. This report is not only a strong proof of the product's material safety but also an authoritative endorsement that the production process complies with international standards. Without a compliant test report, even if the product is of high quality, it will find it difficult to overcome the market entry barrier.

As professional third-party testing agencies, we deeply understand the importance of test reports for export enterprises. We can provide comprehensive compliance preparation services to ensure that the content of the test report strictly meets the standard requirements of the importing country. Whether it is the EU's EU 10/2011 regulations or the FDA's 21 CFR in the United States, we can offer precise testing services and professional compliance consulting.

In practice, we will tailor a test plan according to the target market and product characteristics of the enterprise. This approach not only helps enterprises effectively control costs and avoid unnecessary capital investment but also ensures compliance, preventing compliance risks due to insufficient investment.

For exporters of food contact materials, a test report is no longer an optional item; it is a necessary "passport" for entering the international market. Choosing to work with us will help you obtain stable market entry qualifications in the shortest time and open a new chapter in the international market.

In modern catering and household life, food contact materials (FCM) - including tableware, packaging and containers - directly impact consumer health through material migration. According to international food safety standards, all materials potentially contacting food must undergo rigorous testing to prevent harmful substance migration. Professional FCM testing evaluates chemical stability under various conditions (e.g., high temperature, acidic environments) to prevent heavy metals, plasticizers and other hazardous components from leaching into food. Today, Huabiao Testing explains FCM testing and recommends professional testing agencies in Ningbo.
