Recently, Evergreen Marine (EMC) has issued a significant notice regarding the booking of special cargo. For chemicals, raw materials, 3C products, and goods containing batteries, shipping companies have comprehensively tightened their audit processes.
Core Changes
Strictly Prohibited: "Booking Before Audit"
Evergreen Marine clearly emphasizes that for all the aforementioned special cargo, documentation must be submitted for review before booking.
Time Warning: Please ensure at least 2 business days are reserved for the review process.
Operational Red Line: For urgent shipments, please prepare the documentation in advance. It is strictly prohibited to arrange bookings without prior review to avoid cargo being offloaded due to documentation issues.
Required Documents for Review
"Four-Piece Set" Checklist
To ensure a successful review on the first attempt, please prepare the following four essential documents in advance (file size should be moderate, and photo format must be JPG):
(1) [MSDS] (Material Safety Data Sheet)
(2) [Goods Transportation Conditions Appraisal Certificate]
(3) [Photos of the Goods Themselves] (Product details clearly visible)
(4) [Photos of Goods After Packaging] (Outer packaging labels must be clear)

Operational Tips

Audit Number Management: After the shipowner approves, a unique audit number will be issued. Please be sure to record it properly.
Return Order Operation: When booking the same goods again, you must note in the Remark field: Goods have passed audit + Audit Number.
Validity Period: If the validity period is exceeded, even if the goods are exactly the same, a new audit application is required.
