Transporting moisture-sensitive chemical goods Requires high-integrity packaging, Barrier liners or overbags, and drying agents inside cartons or overpacks.

For most regulated chemical products, tested and approved packaging Is required when shipping by road, sea, or air. The applicable UN packaging code and performance level Depend 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 industrial chemicals shipments must include a Transport document, the latest SDS, and correct labels and markings that Match 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.

Carefully verify the SDS and relevant ADR/IMDG/IATA tables to ensure acids, bases, oxidizers, flammables, and other Chemical goods are properly separated. Use physical barriers and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.
Because industrial chemicals can cause significant loss if leaks occur, Additional cargo insurance is often required by buyers. 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 compliance with international maritime regulations, including the IMDG Code. Proper labeling, packaging, and segregation of incompatible substances are critical to prevent hazardous incidents during transit. Additionally, temperature control measures may be required depending on the nature of the chemicals being transported.
The required documentation includes a bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for each chemical product. Import permits and customs declarations must also be prepared in accordance with Canadian regulations to ensure compliance upon arrival in Montreal.
