Shipping moisture-sensitive specialty chemicals demands high-integrity packaging, foil or poly liners, and drying agents inside cartons or overpacks. It is important to 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 Industrial chemicals, UN-rated packaging is mandatory 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 industrial chemicals are fully regulated, limited quantity, or exempt before selecting packaging.
Most Chemical goods shipments need a dangerous goods declaration, 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 special approvals required by local authorities for specific chemical goods.
You Can often consolidate different industrial 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 products are properly separated. Use segregation panels and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.
Because Chemical products can cause environmental damage if leaks occur, specialized cargo coverage is often required by buyers. Always review your policy to confirm that dangerous goods and Chemical goods are not excluded, and that coverage extends to contamination, disposal, and emergency response costs where applicable.
When shipping chemicals, it is essential to ensure proper packaging and labeling according to international regulations. The containers should be compatible with the specific type of chemicals being shipped, and appropriate safety data sheets (SDS) must be provided. Additionally, special handling may be required to prevent leaks or spills during transit.
The shipment of chemicals requires several key documents, including a bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and a certificate of origin. Additionally, a hazardous materials declaration may be necessary if the chemicals are classified as dangerous goods, along with any specific permits or licenses required by Colombian customs for the importation of chemical products.
