Moving moisture-sensitive chemical goods Requires tight-closing drums or jerricans, foil or poly liners, and drying agents inside cartons or overpacks.

For most regulated chemical goods, tested and approved packaging Is required 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. Be sure to confirm with your dangerous goods specialist or carrier whether your Specialty chemicals are fully regulated, limited quantity, or exempt before selecting packaging.
Most specialty chemicals shipments must include a Transport document, the latest SDS, and complete 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 licenses required by local authorities for specific Chemical products.

First review the SDS and relevant ADR/IMDG/IATA tables to ensure acids, bases, oxidizers, flammables, and other chemical products are properly separated. Use physical barriers and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.
Because specialty chemicals can cause significant loss if leaks occur, Additional cargo insurance is advisable. Always 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.
When shipping chemicals, it is essential to ensure proper packaging that complies with international regulations, including the use of UN-approved containers.
