Shipping Chemical Goods from Aliaga to Boston via Ocean Freight

Shipping moisture-sensitive Chemical products Requires high-integrity packaging, vapor-barrier wraps, and Desiccants inside cartons or overpacks. It is important to clearly note “Keep Dry” on labels and booking notes and Avoid open or vented storage and transit equipment where humidity can build up.

For most regulated Industrial chemicals, UN-certified packaging Is required when shipping by road, sea, or air. The applicable UN packaging code and performance level are determined by the product’s hazard class and packing group shown on the SDS. Always confirm with your dangerous goods specialist or carrier whether your industrial chemicals are fully regulated, limited quantity, or exempt before selecting packaging.

Most Chemical goods shipments Require a Transport document, the latest SDS, and correct labels and markings that correspond to the classification. We recommend including emergency contact details, handling instructions (e.g., “Keep Dry,” “Do Not Stack”), and any special approvals required by local authorities for specific chemical goods.

You Can often consolidate different Specialty chemicals, but only if Segregation rules are followed. Carefully verify the SDS and relevant ADR/IMDG/IATA tables to ensure acids, bases, oxidizers, flammables, and other Chemical goods Are not stored or loaded together. Use segregation panels and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.

Because Chemical products can cause Costly cleanup if leaks occur, Additional cargo insurance is often required by buyers. Carefully review your policy to confirm that dangerous goods and Chemical goods are not excluded, and that coverage extends to contamination, disposal, and emergency response costs where applicable.

When shipping chemicals, it is essential to ensure compliance with international regulations, including proper labeling, packaging, and documentation specific to hazardous materials. Additionally, temperature control and secure stowage are vital to prevent leaks or spills during transit.

Shipments of chemicals from Turkey to the United States must comply with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations, including the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). Importers need to provide a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and ensure that the chemicals are registered with the EPA if required, along with proper customs documentation.

It means every move we make by land, air, or sea is guided by purpose, careful planning, decisive action, and precise, attentive execution.
