Anticipate congestion and slower cargo handling during these times, so allow for additional buffer days to your transit plans. Be aware of potential delays due to typhoon season (June-November) and Mediterranean winter storms (November-March), and consider flexible routing options to mitigate disruptions.

Shipping moisture-sensitive specialty chemicals 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 not use open or vented storage and transit equipment where humidity can build up.
For most regulated Industrial chemicals, UN-rated 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 Chemical goods shipments need 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.
You Can often consolidate different industrial chemicals, but only if regulatory separation requirements are met. 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.
Because Chemical products can cause environmental damage if leaks occur, enhanced freight insurance is advisable. 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 packed in compliance with international regulations, including proper labeling and documentation to ensure safe transport. Additionally, specific containers that meet hazardous material standards should be used to prevent leaks or spills during transit.
Shipments must adhere to both Chinese export regulations and Italian import regulations, including obtaining necessary permits and ensuring compliance with the European Union's REACH regulations for chemical substances.
