Shipping Chemical Goods from Callao to Valparaiso via Ocean Freight

Shipping moisture-sensitive chemical goods demands high-integrity packaging, vapor-barrier wraps, and drying agents inside cartons or overpacks. You should also Specify “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. Be sure to confirm with your dangerous goods specialist or carrier whether your Specialty 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. Our team recommends including emergency contact details, handling instructions (e.g., “Keep Dry,” “Do Not Stack”), and any Permits required by local authorities for specific Chemical products.

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 properly separated. Use Separate pallets and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.
