Shipping Specialty Chemicals from Istanbul to Balboa via Ocean Freight

Shipping moisture-sensitive Chemical products demands high-integrity packaging, vapor-barrier wraps, 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 Industrial chemicals, UN-certified packaging is mandatory when shipping by road, sea, or air. The applicable 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 Specialty chemicals are fully regulated, limited quantity, or exempt before selecting packaging.

Most Chemical goods shipments Require a dangerous goods declaration, the latest SDS, and correct 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 Permits required by local authorities for specific chemical goods.

You Can often 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 goods Are not stored or loaded together. Use Separate pallets and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.

Because Chemical products can cause Costly cleanup if leaks occur, specialized cargo coverage is often required by buyers. Carefully review your policy to confirm that dangerous goods and Chemical goods are not excluded, and that coverage Includes contamination, disposal, and emergency response costs where applicable.
