The short answer: importing Malaysian latex gloves needs a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin, CE certificate and Declaration of Conformity (our CE is BRI-47173-A, covering powdered latex examination gloves only, PPE Cat III), plus ISO 13485:2016 and ISO 9001 test reports. Gloves ship FOB Port Klang under HS heading 4015.
Malaysia is one of the world’s most important sources of latex examination gloves. If you are importing for the first time, the process is straightforward once you understand the documents, shipping terms and certification you need. Here is a step-by-step guide.
Why Import Latex Gloves from Malaysia
Malaysia is a leading producer of natural rubber latex, with decades of glove manufacturing experience, mature supply chains and well-recognised quality systems. Buying direct from Pacific Resource Global, a latex examination gloves manufacturer in Malaysia gives you factory pricing and direct access to the certificates your market requires.
Documents and Certifications You Will Need
- Commercial invoice and packing list from the exporter.
- Bill of lading for the sea freight.
- Certificate of Origin for customs and any trade preferences.
