Shipping Chemical Goods from Dalian to Guayaquil via Ocean Freight

Transporting moisture-sensitive specialty chemicals Requires Sealed primary containers, Barrier liners or overbags, and Desiccants inside cartons or overpacks. You should also Specify “Keep Dry” on labels and booking notes and Avoid open or vented storage and transit equipment where humidity can build up.

For most regulated chemical products, UN-rated packaging Is required when shipping by road, sea, or air. The Exact UN packaging code and performance level Depend on the product’s hazard class and packing group shown on the SDS. Always confirm with your dangerous goods specialist or carrier whether your Specialty chemicals are fully regulated, limited quantity, or exempt before selecting packaging.

Most industrial chemicals shipments need a Transport document, the latest SDS, and Accurate labels and markings that Match the classification. We recommend 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 sometimes consolidate different industrial chemicals, but only if Segregation rules are followed. Always check the SDS and relevant ADR/IMDG/IATA tables to ensure acids, bases, oxidizers, flammables, and other Chemical goods Are not stored or loaded together. Use Separate pallets and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.

Because industrial chemicals can cause environmental damage if leaks occur, Additional cargo insurance Is strongly recommended. Review your policy to confirm that dangerous goods and Chemical goods are not excluded, and that coverage Includes contamination, disposal, and emergency response costs where applicable.

When shipping chemicals, it is essential to ensure proper packaging, labeling, and compliance with international maritime regulations. This includes using UN-approved containers and ensuring that all hazardous materials are clearly marked and documented according to the IMDG Code.

Required documentation includes a bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and safety data sheets (SDS) for the chemicals being shipped. Additionally, customs clearance documentation specific to hazardous materials may be necessary for both China and Ecuador.
