Shipping Chemical Goods from Bangkok to Taipei via Ocean Freight

Shipping moisture-sensitive chemical goods demands high-integrity packaging, vapor-barrier wraps, and Desiccants inside cartons or overpacks. Shippers should also clearly note “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, tested and approved packaging is mandatory when shipping by road, sea, or air. The applicable UN packaging code and performance level are determined by 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 correct labels and markings that correspond to the classification. We recommend including emergency contact details, handling instructions (e.g., “Keep Dry,” “Do Not Stack”), and any licenses required by local authorities for specific chemical goods.

You Can often consolidate different chemical products, but only if they are compatible. Carefully verify 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 physical barriers and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.

Because Chemical products can cause significant loss if leaks occur, specialized cargo coverage is often required by buyers. Carefully review your policy to confirm that dangerous goods and Chemical goods are not excluded, and that coverage covers contamination, disposal, and emergency response costs where applicable.

Chemicals must be packaged according to international standards, ensuring appropriate labeling and safety data sheets are included. In addition, the cargo should be stowed in a manner that prevents leakage or contamination during transit, and temperature control may be necessary depending on the type of chemical being transported.

Exporters must comply with both Thai and Taiwanese regulations, including obtaining necessary export permits from Thai authorities and ensuring the chemicals meet Taiwan's import regulations. This may involve specific documentation such as Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and compliance with the Taiwan Chemical Substance Inventory.
