Shipping Specialty Chemicals from Cai Mep to Rotterdam via Ocean Freight

Transporting moisture-sensitive Chemical products Requires Sealed primary containers, Barrier liners or overbags, and moisture absorbers inside cartons or overpacks. Shippers should also indicate “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 chemical products, UN-certified packaging Is required 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. Verify 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 Require a Transport document, the latest SDS, and Accurate labels and markings that Match the classification. Best practice is 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 sometimes consolidate different Specialty chemicals, but only if Segregation rules are followed. Always check the SDS and relevant ADR/IMDG/IATA tables to ensure acids, bases, oxidizers, flammables, and other Chemical goods do not conflict. Use physical barriers and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.

Because industrial chemicals can cause Costly cleanup if leaks occur, Additional cargo insurance Is strongly recommended. 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 via ocean freight, it is essential to ensure compliance with international regulations regarding hazardous materials. Proper labeling, packaging, and documentation are critical to prevent leaks and ensure safe transport. Additionally, cargo must be stowed in a manner that minimizes the risk of contamination or reaction with other materials.

Regulatory requirements include compliance with the European Union's REACH regulations, which govern the registration and evaluation of chemical substances. Importers in the Netherlands must ensure that all chemicals are registered and that appropriate safety data sheets are provided. Additionally, customs documentation must accurately reflect the nature of the chemicals being shipped.
