Shipping Chemicals from Aliaga to Kansas City via Ocean Freight

Moving moisture-sensitive chemical goods necessitates tight-closing drums or jerricans, foil or poly liners, and Desiccants inside cartons or overpacks. It is important to clearly note “Keep Dry” on labels and booking notes and not use open or vented storage and transit equipment where humidity can build up.

For most regulated chemical goods, tested and approved packaging must be used when shipping by road, sea, or air. The specific UN packaging code and performance level are based on 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 specialty chemicals shipments must include a DG shipping paper, the latest SDS, and complete labels and markings that align with 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 products.

You may be able to consolidate different chemical products, 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 products Are not stored or loaded together. Use segregation panels and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.

Because specialty chemicals can cause significant loss if leaks occur, enhanced freight insurance is advisable. Always 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 safety standards, proper labeling, and secure packaging to prevent leaks or spills during transit. Additionally, specific handling procedures may be required based on the type of chemical, including temperature control and segregation from incompatible materials.
