Moving moisture-sensitive Chemical products demands tight-closing drums or jerricans, 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, UN-certified packaging is mandatory when shipping by road, sea, or air. The specific 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 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 complete 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 Specialty chemicals, but only if they are compatible. 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 specialty chemicals can cause Costly cleanup if leaks occur, specialized cargo coverage is advisable. Carefully 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.
