Shipping Specialty Chemicals from Atlanta to Newark via Ocean Freight

Shipping moisture-sensitive chemical goods demands Sealed primary containers, Barrier liners or overbags, and Desiccants inside cartons or overpacks. It is important to Specify “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 Industrial chemicals, tested and approved packaging is mandatory when shipping by road, sea, or air. The Exact UN packaging code and performance level Depend 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 Chemical goods shipments must include a dangerous goods declaration, the latest SDS, and Accurate labels and markings that Match 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 Can often consolidate different chemical products, 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 goods Are not stored or loaded together. Use segregation panels and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.

Because Chemical products can cause significant loss if leaks occur, specialized cargo coverage Is strongly recommended. 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 properly classified and labeled according to the United Nations' Globally Harmonized System (GHS) for hazardous materials. Proper containment and packaging are essential to prevent leaks and ensure safety during transit. Additionally, adherence to the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code is required for ocean transport.

The shipment of chemicals requires a Bill of Lading, Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), and any necessary hazardous materials declarations. Importers must also comply with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations and ensure that all documentation meets the standards for customs clearance at the port of Newark.
