Shipping Chemical Products from Guayaquil to Denver via Ocean Freight

Moving moisture-sensitive Chemical products demands high-integrity packaging, foil or poly liners, and moisture absorbers 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 chemical goods, UN-certified packaging is mandatory when shipping by road, sea, or air. The applicable 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 Specialty chemicals are fully regulated, limited quantity, or exempt before selecting packaging.

Most specialty chemicals shipments Require a dangerous goods declaration, the latest SDS, and correct 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 may be able to consolidate different Specialty chemicals, but only if they are compatible. Carefully verify 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 specialty chemicals can cause Costly cleanup if leaks occur, specialized cargo coverage is often required by buyers. 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.
