I. What isNew EnergyDyes? How do they differ from traditional dyes?

New energy dyes refer to environmentally friendly dyes produced using clean technologies such as biosynthesis and photocatalysis, complying with EU REACH regulations and global carbon neutrality trends. Compared with traditional dyes, they have three main characteristics:

• Raw material innovation:Over 30% of components come from renewable resources (such as microbial fermentation products)
• Process upgrade:Production energy consumption reduced by 40%-60%, wastewater discharge decreased by 80%
• Certification differences:Requires additional ecological certifications such as OEKO-TEX? ECO PASSPORT

II. What special qualifications are needed for agency exports?

According to the latest 2025 DangerousChemicalsThe Catalog includes some photosensitive new energy dyes under regulatory scope, requiring preparation of:

• Basic documents:
  • Hazardous Chemicals Operation License (covering Class 3 flammable liquids)
  • MSDS Chemical Safety Data Sheet (Chinese-English bilingual version)
• Special certifications:
  • ISO 14067 Product Carbon Footprint Certification
  • U.S. EPA Green Chemistry Challenge Award Certification (for innovative processes)

What are the special requirements for international transportation?

Taking bio-based dyes as an example, special attention is required for international shipping in 2025:

• Temperature-controlled transportation:Active ingredients must maintain constant temperature of 15-25℃ (for some microbial culture-based dyes)
• Special packaging:Double-layer PE bags + moisture-proof cartons + UN-certified steel drums (three-level protection)
• Document updates:Must accompany Biological Safety Declaration

What are the access standards for major target markets?

Different markets have differentiated requirements:

• European Union:
  • REACH Regulation registration number (62 newly restricted substances added in 2025)
  • Complies with textile Eco-label color fastness standard of Grade 4 or above
• North America:
  • FDA 21 CFR 73.2150 certification for food colorants (food contact category)
  • Complies with California Proposition 65 heavy metal content standards

How to choose a reliable agency company?

It is recommended to evaluate agency companies from five dimensions:

• 22. Industry experience:Minimum 3 completed export cases of new energy dyes
• Compliance ability:Holds AEO Advanced Certification enterprise qualification
• Emergency system:Must have hazardous chemical leakage emergency plan (drill records subject to inspection)
• Testing resources:Partner laboratories hold both CNAS and CMA accreditations
• Data management:Provide visualcustoms clearanceProgress tracking system

and VI.Export tax refundWhat are the new policies?

2025 joint announcement by Ministry of Finance and three other departments clarifies:

• Adjustment of export tax rebate rates:The export tax rebate rate for bio-based dyes has been increased to 13% (previously 9%)
• Declaration materials:New addition: Carbon emission reduction accounting report (requires third-party organization seal)
• Restriction clauses:Dyes containing PFAS substances are disqualified from tax rebates

How to handle special customs inspections?

New energy dyes have 22% higher inspection probability than traditional products. Recommendations:

• Pre-declaration mechanism:Submit composition analysis report 72 hours in advance
• Technical countermeasures:Prepare portable testing equipment for on-site pH verification (6.5-8.5)
• Contingency plan:Pre-deposit inspection bond of $5,000 per container to expedite clearance

How to prevent intellectual property risks?

Three aspects requiring special attention:

• Patent search:Verify production process patents through platforms like PatSnap
• Contract terms:Require agency companies to bear 50% joint liability for infringement compensation
• Certification avoidance:Avoid using certification codes from brands like Dystar and Huntsman

How to ensure after-sales service?

Recommend establishing a three-tier service system:

• Basic services:Provide multilingual technical documentation (including Arabic version)
• Value - added services:Authorize agency companies to maintain 3% emergency inventory at destination ports
• Emergency services:72-hour overseas technical support response mechanism
