Moving moisture-sensitive specialty chemicals necessitates Sealed primary containers, foil or poly liners, and Desiccants inside cartons or overpacks.

For most regulated chemical goods, UN-rated packaging must be used when shipping by road, sea, or air. The Exact UN packaging code and performance level are based on the product’s hazard class and packing group shown on the SDS. Always confirm with your dangerous goods specialist or carrier whether your industrial chemicals are fully regulated, limited quantity, or exempt before selecting packaging.
Most specialty chemicals shipments need a DG shipping paper, the latest SDS, and Accurate labels and markings that align with the classification. We recommend including emergency contact details, handling instructions (e.g., “Keep Dry,” “Do Not Stack”), and any special approvals required by local authorities for specific chemical goods.
