Shipping Industrial Chemicals from Atlanta to Balboa via Ocean Freight

Shipping moisture-sensitive Chemical products demands Sealed primary containers, foil or poly liners, and drying agents inside cartons or overpacks. It is important to indicate “Keep Dry” on labels and booking notes and steer clear of open or vented storage and transit equipment where humidity can build up.

For most regulated Industrial chemicals, UN-certified packaging is mandatory when shipping by road, sea, or air. The Exact UN packaging code and performance level are based on the product’s hazard class and packing group shown on the SDS. Be sure to 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 dangerous goods declaration, the latest SDS, and Accurate labels and markings that align with the classification. Our team recommends 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 they are compatible. Always check the SDS and relevant ADR/IMDG/IATA tables to ensure acids, bases, oxidizers, flammables, and other chemical products are properly separated. Use segregation panels and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.

Because Chemical products can cause Costly cleanup if leaks occur, specialized cargo coverage Is strongly recommended. 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.

Chemicals must be packaged in compliance with international regulations, including proper labeling and documentation to indicate hazardous materials if applicable. Additionally, containers should be secured and protected from exposure to moisture during transit.

Shipments must comply with both U.S. and Panamanian regulations, including the submission of a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and any necessary permits for hazardous materials. Customs documentation must accurately reflect the chemical contents and comply with import/export laws of both countries.
