When shipping from Guangzhou, China to Veracruz, Mexico, prepare for significant delays due to the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and the Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November). Include extra buffer days for port operations and arrange flexible routing options to mitigate weather disruptions. Plan around tight transshipment windows during peak rainfall (June-September) and typhoon activity (August-October). Additionally, account for reduced capacity and potential slowdowns during the Golden Week (October 1-7) and Lunar New Year (late-January to mid-February) to ensure timely deliveries.

Moving moisture-sensitive chemical goods necessitates high-integrity packaging, vapor-barrier wraps, and drying agents inside cartons or overpacks. Shippers should also indicate “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 goods, tested and approved packaging must be used 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. Be sure to confirm with your dangerous goods specialist or carrier whether your industrial chemicals are fully regulated, limited quantity, or exempt before selecting packaging.
Most specialty chemicals shipments must include a DG shipping paper, the latest SDS, and correct labels and markings that correspond to the classification. Our team recommends 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 may be able to consolidate different chemical products, 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 products are properly separated. Use physical barriers and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.
Because specialty chemicals can cause significant loss if leaks occur, enhanced freight insurance is often required by buyers. Carefully 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.
When shipping chemicals, it is crucial to ensure proper packaging and labeling according to international regulations. The containers must be suitable for hazardous materials, and personnel should be trained in handling chemical products. Additionally, it is important to maintain appropriate temperature controls and prevent contamination during transit.
Shipping chemicals from Guangzhou to Veracruz requires compliance with both Chinese and Mexican regulations. Export permits must be obtained from the Chinese authorities, while import permits and safety data sheets must be provided to Mexican customs. The chemicals must also comply with the Globally Harmonized System for classification and labeling of chemicals, ensuring that all documentation is complete and accurate to facilitate customs clearance.
