Shipping Specialty Chemicals from Felixstowe to Navegantes via Ocean Freight

Moving moisture-sensitive specialty chemicals demands Sealed primary containers, vapor-barrier wraps, and Desiccants inside cartons or overpacks. Shippers should also indicate “Keep Dry” on labels and booking notes and not use open or vented storage and transit equipment where humidity can build up.

For most regulated chemical goods, UN-rated packaging is mandatory when shipping by road, sea, or air. The Exact UN packaging code and performance level are determined by 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.
