Book vessel space and trucking capacity well in advance, especially before the Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) and Golden Week (October 1-7), as space becomes limited. Anticipate terminal congestion and slower cargo handling during these periods, so allow for extra dwell time (January-February, September-October). Additionally, consider potential delays due to typhoon season (June-November) and winter storms (November-March), which may require flexible routing to mitigate disruptions. Always coordinate closely with local agents to ensure timely pickups and returns.

Transporting moisture-sensitive chemical goods necessitates tight-closing drums or jerricans, foil or poly liners, and Desiccants inside cartons or overpacks. Shippers should also clearly note “Keep Dry” on labels and booking notes and steer clear of 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 Specialty 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 licenses required by local authorities for specific chemical goods.
You can sometimes consolidate different chemical products, 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 physical barriers and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.
Because industrial chemicals can cause significant loss 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 covers contamination, disposal, and emergency response costs where applicable.
Chemicals must be packed according to international regulations, ensuring that they are properly labeled and classified. Additionally, it is essential to use containers that meet safety standards to prevent leaks or spills during transit.
