Transporting moisture-sensitive chemical goods demands tight-closing drums or jerricans, foil or poly liners, and Desiccants inside cartons or overpacks. You 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 products, tested and approved packaging is mandatory 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. Always 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 dangerous goods declaration, the latest SDS, and complete labels and markings that align with the classification. We recommend including emergency contact details, handling instructions (e.g., “Keep Dry,” “Do Not Stack”), and any Permits required by local authorities for specific chemical goods.
You can sometimes consolidate different chemical products, 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 not stored or loaded together. Use Separate pallets and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.
