Transporting moisture-sensitive specialty chemicals demands high-integrity packaging, foil or poly liners, and drying agents inside cartons or overpacks. You should also Specify “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, UN-rated 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.
