When shipping from Genoa to Minneapolis, anticipate significant delays due to Mediterranean and North Atlantic winter storms (November-March). Build in extra transit time for port calls and flexible berthing windows. During the peak holiday season (October-December), confirm bookings well in advance to avoid rollovers. Adjust for potential congestion at the Suez Canal (January-March) and communicate regularly with carriers for real-time updates on weather and routing changes.

Transporting moisture-sensitive specialty chemicals necessitates tight-closing drums or jerricans, foil or poly liners, and moisture absorbers inside cartons or overpacks. Shippers should also Specify “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, 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. Verify 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 need a DG shipping paper, the latest SDS, and complete labels and markings that align with the classification. Best practice is including emergency contact details, handling instructions (e.g., “Keep Dry,” “Do Not Stack”), and any licenses required by local authorities for specific Chemical products.
You can sometimes 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 do not conflict. Use physical barriers and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.
Because industrial chemicals can cause environmental damage if leaks occur, enhanced freight insurance is advisable. Always review your policy to confirm that dangerous goods and specialty chemicals are not excluded, and that coverage covers contamination, disposal, and emergency response costs where applicable.
Chemicals require special handling due to their hazardous nature; appropriate packaging and labeling according to international regulations are essential. Additionally, vessels must be equipped to handle chemical spills or leaks during transit.
All chemical shipments must comply with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations, including proper documentation for Hazardous Materials and adherence to the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). Importers must also ensure compliance with customs regulations and may need to provide Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS).
