When shipping from Jiangmen, China to Seattle, be mindful of heavy rainfall (June-September), which can slow operations and increase transit times. Secure vessel space well in advance of the National Day holiday (September 20-30) to avoid congestion. Additionally, during the holiday rush (November-December), expect tighter capacity and longer lead times. Finally, plan for winter storms (December-March) that may disrupt schedules, necessitating flexible routing and additional buffer days.

Moving moisture-sensitive specialty chemicals necessitates tight-closing drums or jerricans, vapor-barrier wraps, and drying agents inside cartons or overpacks. It is important to 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 chemical goods, UN-rated 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. 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 specialty chemicals shipments need a DG shipping paper, the latest SDS, and complete labels and markings that correspond to 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 may be able to consolidate different industrial chemicals, but only if regulatory separation requirements are met. First review the SDS and relevant ADR/IMDG/IATA tables to ensure acids, bases, oxidizers, flammables, and other Chemical goods are properly separated. Use segregation panels and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.
Because specialty chemicals can cause environmental damage if leaks occur, enhanced freight insurance is advisable. Carefully 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.
Shipments of chemicals from Jiangmen to Seattle must comply with both Chinese export regulations and U.S. import regulations. This includes obtaining necessary export permits from Chinese authorities and ensuring compliance with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations, as well as the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS). Additionally, the chemicals must be classified and documented according to the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) for hazardous materials.
When shipping chemicals via ocean freight from Jiangmen to Seattle, it is essential to ensure proper containerization to prevent leaks and spills. Chemical products should be loaded in containers that are suitable for hazardous materials, and the containers must be clearly labeled with appropriate hazard symbols.
