When shipping from Haiphong, Vietnam to Laem Chabang, Thailand, consider the monsoon season (May-September) by adding buffer days to schedules and using waterproof coverings for cargo. Anticipate port congestion and delays due to heavy rainfall and flooding (June-October). Additionally, book vessel space well in advance during peak export periods (July-October) to avoid tight capacity and ensure timely deliveries. Coordinate closely with carriers for real-time updates, especially during the typhoon season (June-November), to mitigate disruptions and adjust routes as necessary.

Transporting moisture-sensitive chemical goods necessitates tight-closing drums or jerricans, foil or poly liners, and drying agents inside cartons or overpacks. Shippers 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 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. Be sure to confirm with your dangerous goods specialist or carrier whether your Specialty chemicals are fully regulated, limited quantity, or exempt before selecting packaging.
Most industrial chemicals shipments must include a DG shipping paper, the latest SDS, and complete labels and markings that align with 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 can sometimes consolidate different chemical products, 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 are properly separated. Use physical barriers and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.
Because industrial chemicals can cause significant loss 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.
