Shipping Chemicals from Itapoa to Valparaiso via Ocean Freight

Shipping moisture-sensitive chemical goods 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 steer clear of open or vented storage and transit equipment where humidity can build up.

For most regulated Industrial chemicals, tested and approved 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 Specialty chemicals are fully regulated, limited quantity, or exempt before selecting packaging.

Use physical barriers and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.
