Shipping moisture-sensitive Chemical products Requires high-integrity packaging, foil or poly liners, and drying agents inside cartons or overpacks. It is important to clearly note “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 Industrial chemicals, UN-certified packaging Is required 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 industrial chemicals are fully regulated, limited quantity, or exempt before selecting packaging.
Most Chemical goods shipments Require a Transport document, 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 special approvals required by local authorities for specific Chemical products.
You Can often consolidate different Specialty chemicals, but only if Segregation rules are followed. Carefully verify the SDS and relevant ADR/IMDG/IATA tables to ensure acids, bases, oxidizers, flammables, and other chemical products are properly separated. Use segregation panels and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.
Because Chemical products can cause Costly cleanup if leaks occur, Additional cargo insurance is often required by buyers. Always review your policy to confirm that dangerous goods and specialty chemicals are not excluded, and that coverage extends to contamination, disposal, and emergency response costs where applicable.
Chemicals must be packaged according to international regulations and standards to prevent leaks and contamination during ocean transport. Additionally, specific labeling and documentation, including Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and hazardous materials declarations, are essential for compliance with both South Korean and Chinese regulations.
Shipments must comply with the regulations set forth by the Korean Ministry of Environment and the Chinese Ministry of Ecology and Environment. This includes obtaining necessary permits, ensuring proper classification of chemicals, and adhering to customs documentation requirements for hazardous materials.
