When shipping from Da Nang, Vietnam to Cartagena, Colombia, anticipate significant delays due to the Southeast Asia monsoon season (May-November) and the Western Pacific typhoon season (June-November). Build in extra buffer days for transit times and communicate closely with carriers for real-time updates, especially during peak periods (July-October). Expect increased congestion at ports and potential draft restrictions during heavy rainfall (June-September). Additionally, confirm vessel space well in advance to mitigate rollover risks during peak export seasons (October-December).

Transporting moisture-sensitive specialty chemicals necessitates tight-closing drums or jerricans, foil or poly liners, 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-rated packaging must be used when shipping by road, sea, or air. The specific UN packaging code and performance level are based 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 need a DG shipping paper, the latest SDS, and complete labels and markings that align with 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 industrial chemicals, but only if regulatory separation requirements are met. First review the SDS and relevant ADR/IMDG/IATA tables to ensure acids, bases, oxidizers, flammables, and other chemical products do not conflict. Use physical barriers and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.
Because industrial chemicals can cause environmental damage if leaks occur, enhanced freight insurance is advisable. Always 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 comply with international regulations regarding the handling of hazardous materials. Proper packaging, labeling, and documentation are crucial to ensure safety and compliance during transit. Additionally, the cargo should be stowed in a manner that prevents leaks and contamination.
Regulatory requirements include obtaining the necessary export permits from Vietnamese authorities and ensuring compliance with Colombian import regulations. This may involve specific documentation such as Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), certificates of analysis, and any relevant import permits from Colombian customs authorities.
