Shipping Chemical Products from Incheon to Laem Chabang via Ocean Freight

Shipping moisture-sensitive specialty chemicals necessitates tight-closing drums or jerricans, vapor-barrier wraps, and Desiccants 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 Industrial chemicals, UN-rated packaging must be used 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. Always confirm with your dangerous goods specialist or carrier whether your industrial chemicals are fully regulated, limited quantity, or exempt before selecting packaging.

Most Chemical goods shipments need a DG shipping paper, the latest SDS, and complete labels and markings that correspond to the classification. We recommend 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 often consolidate different industrial chemicals, 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 not stored or loaded together. Use physical barriers and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.

Because Chemical products can cause environmental damage if leaks occur, enhanced freight insurance 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.

Chemicals must be properly classified and packaged according to international regulations, such as the IMDG Code. It is essential to ensure that containers are labeled correctly and that safety data sheets (SDS) are provided to comply with handling and transport regulations.

Importers in Thailand must comply with the Hazardous Substances Act, which requires prior notification and approval for importing certain chemicals. Additionally, a customs declaration must be submitted, along with relevant documentation such as the bill of lading and certificates of analysis.
