SDS (Safety Data Sheet) Requirements
Certain items aren’t outright prohibited but require approval before shipping due to chemical or hazardous contents.
🔍 What is an SDS?
A Safety Data Sheet (SDS) provides information about the hazards, handling, and transportation of chemical products. An SDS is required for some shipments to ensure safe transport and customs clearance.
📝 When Do You Need an SDS?
You must provide an SDS if your item falls under any of these categories:
✅ Lithium Batteries (e-scooters, laptops, power banks, smartphones)
✅ Aerosols & Sprays (hairspray, spray paint, deodorant)
✅ Cleaning Products (bleach, disinfectants, chemical solvents)
✅ Adhesives & Paints (glue, nail polish, epoxy, resins)
✅ Medical & Laboratory Products (alcohol-based solutions, reagents)
📩 How to Get an SDS?
1️⃣ Check with the retailer or manufacturer – Most brands provide an SDS upon request.
2️⃣ Email the SDS to MyMalls before purchasing the item.
3️⃣ Await confirmation to see if your item is shippable, restricted, or prohibited.
🚨 Important: If an item requiring an SDS is shipped without prior approval, it may be returned at your expense or destroyed by customs.
