Moving moisture-sensitive Chemical products demands high-integrity packaging, foil or poly liners, 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 applicable 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 specialty chemicals shipments Require a dangerous goods declaration, the latest SDS, and correct 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 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 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 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.
When shipping chemicals via ocean freight, it is essential to ensure proper packaging and labeling according to international regulations. This includes using UN-approved containers and providing Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for hazardous materials. Additionally, handling procedures must comply with both Vietnamese and Brazilian regulations to prevent spills or exposure during transit.
The required documentation includes a Bill of Lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and specific permits for chemical products as mandated by both Vietnamese and Brazilian customs authorities. It is also necessary to include any relevant certificates of analysis or compliance for the chemicals being transported.
