For most regulated Industrial chemicals, UN-certified packaging must be used when shipping by road, sea, or air.

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 goods.
