Transporting moisture-sensitive chemical goods demands high-integrity packaging, vapor-barrier wraps, and moisture absorbers inside cartons or overpacks. You 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 products, tested and approved packaging is mandatory when shipping by road, sea, or air. The applicable UN packaging code and performance level are determined by the product’s hazard class and packing group shown on the SDS.
