Shipping Industrial Chemicals from Izmir to Bogota via Ocean Freight

Transporting moisture-sensitive chemical goods Requires Sealed primary containers, vapor-barrier wraps, and Desiccants inside cartons or overpacks. You should also 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 chemical products, tested and approved packaging Is required when shipping by road, sea, or air. The Exact 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 industrial chemicals shipments must include a Transport document, the latest SDS, and Accurate 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 products.

Always check 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.
