Transporting moisture-sensitive specialty chemicals demands high-integrity packaging, Barrier liners or overbags, and Desiccants inside cartons or overpacks. Shippers 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 mandatory when shipping by road, sea, or air. The applicable 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 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 correct labels and markings that Match the classification. We recommend including emergency contact details, handling instructions (e.g., “Keep Dry,” “Do Not Stack”), and any licenses required by local authorities for specific Chemical products.
You can sometimes consolidate different industrial chemicals, 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 not stored or loaded together. Use physical barriers and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.
Because industrial chemicals can cause environmental damage if leaks occur, specialized cargo coverage is often required by buyers. Review your policy to confirm that dangerous goods and Chemical goods are not excluded, and that coverage covers contamination, disposal, and emergency response costs where applicable.
Shipping chemicals from the United States to China requires compliance with both U.S. regulations, such as the EPA's TSCA, and Chinese regulations, including the Inventory of Existing Chemical Substances in China (IECSC).
