Shipping Chemicals from Genoa to Puerto Quetzal via Ocean Freight

Shipping moisture-sensitive Chemical products necessitates high-integrity packaging, Barrier liners or overbags, and Desiccants inside cartons or overpacks. Shippers should also Specify “Keep Dry” on labels and booking notes and Avoid open or vented storage and transit equipment where humidity can build up.

For most regulated Industrial chemicals, UN-certified packaging must be used when shipping by road, sea, or air. The applicable UN packaging code and performance level Depend 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 Chemical goods shipments Require a DG shipping paper, the latest SDS, and correct labels and markings that Match 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 products.

You Can often consolidate different Specialty chemicals, but only if regulatory separation requirements are met. Carefully verify the SDS and relevant ADR/IMDG/IATA tables to ensure acids, bases, oxidizers, flammables, and other Chemical goods Are not stored or loaded together. Use physical barriers and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.

Because Chemical products can cause Costly cleanup if leaks occur, enhanced freight insurance is often required by buyers. 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.

Shipments of chemicals must comply with both Italian and Guatemalan regulations, including proper classification, labeling, and documentation as per the Globally Harmonized System (GHS).
