Shipping Specialty Chemicals from Aliaga to Itapoa via Ocean Freight

Shipping moisture-sensitive Chemical products necessitates tight-closing drums or jerricans, Barrier liners or overbags, and moisture absorbers inside cartons or overpacks. Shippers should also 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 must be used when shipping by road, sea, or air. The specific UN packaging code and performance level Depend on the product’s hazard class and packing group shown on the SDS. Verify with your dangerous goods specialist or carrier whether your Specialty chemicals are fully regulated, limited quantity, or exempt before selecting packaging.

Most Chemical goods shipments Require a DG shipping paper, the latest SDS, and complete labels and markings that Match the classification. Best practice is including emergency contact details, handling instructions (e.g., “Keep Dry,” “Do Not Stack”), and any licenses required by local authorities for specific Chemical products.

You Can often consolidate different Specialty chemicals, but only if regulatory separation requirements are met. First review the SDS and relevant ADR/IMDG/IATA tables to ensure acids, bases, oxidizers, flammables, and other Chemical goods do not conflict. Use physical barriers and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.

Because Chemical products can cause Costly cleanup if leaks occur, enhanced freight insurance is advisable. Review your policy to confirm that dangerous goods and specialty chemicals are not excluded, and that coverage covers contamination, disposal, and emergency response costs where applicable.

Required documentation typically includes a bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and safety data sheets (SDS) for the chemicals being shipped. Additionally, specific customs declarations and permits may be necessary to comply with regulatory requirements in both Turkey and Brazil.

Seasonal weather patterns may affect ocean freight conditions, including potential storms or rough seas, particularly during the Atlantic hurricane season from June to November. It is advisable to monitor weather forecasts and sea conditions when planning shipments during these months.
