On December 15, 2025, relevant regulatory departments in Zhejiang Province reported a case of false reporting of hazardous chemical exports, and a certain organic silicon production enterprise was fined 996500 yuan for evading statutory inspection and supervision. After investigation, the company falsely declared "hexamethyldisiloxane" listed in the "Catalogue of Hazardous Chemicals" as a common chemical "methyl silicone oil" for export declaration between June 2022 and May 2023, with a cumulative value of 19.92 million yuan. The regulatory authorities emphasized that, except for the products involved in this case, MM, D4, D5, and some silane coupling agents are all high-risk chemicals. Enterprises must strictly classify and declare according to their actual properties and comply with hazardous chemical inspection procedures.


This incident exposed the chaos in the industry where some companies are taking risks to avoid regulatory costs. According to industry experts' analysis, false reporting of hazardous chemicals not only threatens international trade safety, but may also cause environmental pollution and personal injury. In recent years, the global silicone market has continued to expand, but compliance risks have also increased. Taking a certain enterprise in Zhejiang as an example, although its false reporting behavior has reduced export costs in the short term, in the long run, the high fines, reputation loss, and supply chain interruption risks far outweigh short-term gains.


The regulatory authorities have stated that they will further strengthen their "zero tolerance" stance and crack down on illegal activities through means such as big data monitoring and cross departmental joint law enforcement. At the same time, industry associations are calling on companies to strengthen internal compliance training and establish risk warning mechanisms. Industry insiders point out that with the tightening of global trade rules, compliance capability will become one of the core competitiveness of enterprises, and violators may face chain reactions such as market access restrictions and international customer loss.
