Moving moisture-sensitive chemical goods Requires high-integrity packaging, vapor-barrier wraps, and moisture absorbers inside cartons or overpacks. Shippers should also clearly note “Keep Dry” on labels and booking notes and steer clear of open or vented storage and transit equipment where humidity can build up.

The applicable UN packaging code and performance level are determined by the product’s hazard class and packing group shown on the SDS.
