Shipping Chemicals from Da Nang to Istanbul via Ocean Freight

Transporting moisture-sensitive specialty chemicals demands Sealed primary containers, foil or poly liners, and Desiccants inside cartons or overpacks. It is important to 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 chemical products, UN-rated packaging is mandatory when shipping by road, sea, or air. The Exact UN packaging code and performance level are based on the product’s hazard class and packing group shown on the SDS. Always 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 need a dangerous goods declaration, the latest SDS, and Accurate labels and markings that align with the classification. We recommend including emergency contact details, handling instructions (e.g., “Keep Dry,” “Do Not Stack”), and any special approvals required by local authorities for specific Chemical products.

You can sometimes consolidate different industrial chemicals, but only if they are compatible. Always check the SDS and relevant ADR/IMDG/IATA tables to ensure acids, bases, oxidizers, flammables, and other chemical products Are not stored or loaded together. Use segregation panels and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.
