Transporting moisture-sensitive chemical goods necessitates tight-closing drums or jerricans, foil or poly liners, and Desiccants inside cartons or overpacks. It is important to clearly note “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, tested and approved 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. 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 must include a DG shipping paper, the latest SDS, and complete 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.

First review 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.

Always review your policy to confirm that dangerous goods and Chemical goods are not excluded, and that coverage extends to contamination, disposal, and emergency response costs where applicable.
Chemicals must be packaged according to regulations, including proper labeling and hazard identification. Ensure that all containers are secure and leak-proof to prevent spills during ocean transport.
