Shipping Specialty Chemicals from Bogota to Veracruz via Ocean Freight

Shipping moisture-sensitive Chemical products Requires tight-closing drums or jerricans, Barrier liners or overbags, and Desiccants inside cartons or overpacks. It is important to Specify “Keep Dry” on labels and booking notes and Avoid open or vented storage and transit equipment where humidity can build up.

For most regulated Industrial chemicals, UN-certified packaging Is required when shipping by road, sea, or air. The specific 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 Require a Transport document, the latest SDS, and complete 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 Specialty chemicals, but only if Segregation rules are followed. First review 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 Costly cleanup if leaks occur, Additional cargo insurance is advisable. 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 comply with specific handling requirements, including proper labeling, securing containers to prevent leaks, and using appropriate packaging materials that meet international safety standards. Additionally, ensure that the chemicals are stored in a temperature-controlled environment if necessary during transit.

Regulatory requirements include obtaining necessary export permits from Colombian authorities and ensuring compliance with Mexican import regulations, which may involve specific documentation such as Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), import licenses, and chemical registration details to facilitate customs clearance.
