Shipping Specialty Chemicals from Itapoa to Xiamen via Ocean Freight

Transporting moisture-sensitive specialty chemicals necessitates high-integrity packaging, foil or poly liners, and drying agents 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 chemical products, UN-rated packaging must be used 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 Specialty chemicals are fully regulated, limited quantity, or exempt before selecting packaging.

Most industrial chemicals shipments need a DG shipping paper, 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 licenses required by local authorities for specific chemical goods.

You can sometimes consolidate different industrial chemicals, but only if regulatory separation requirements are met. Carefully verify the SDS and relevant ADR/IMDG/IATA tables to ensure acids, bases, oxidizers, flammables, and other chemical products are properly separated. Use physical barriers and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.

Because industrial chemicals can cause environmental damage if leaks occur, enhanced freight insurance is often required by buyers. Always 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.

When shipping chemicals, it is essential to ensure proper packaging and labeling according to international regulations. Additionally, specific handling procedures must be followed to prevent leaks or spills during transit, and temperature control may be necessary for certain chemical products to maintain stability.

Shipping chemicals between Brazil and China requires compliance with both countries' regulations, including obtaining necessary permits and documentation. The chemicals must be classified according to the Globally Harmonized System (GHS), and appropriate safety data sheets (SDS) must accompany shipments to facilitate customs clearance.
