Shipping Chemical Products from Laem Chabang to Genoa via Ocean Freight

Moving moisture-sensitive Chemical products Requires tight-closing drums or jerricans, Barrier liners or overbags, and moisture absorbers inside cartons or overpacks. Shippers 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 goods, UN-certified packaging Is required when shipping by road, sea, or air. The specific UN packaging code and performance level Depend on the product’s hazard class and packing group shown on the SDS. Verify with your dangerous goods specialist or carrier whether your Specialty chemicals are fully regulated, limited quantity, or exempt before selecting packaging.

Most specialty chemicals shipments Require a Transport document, the latest SDS, and complete labels and markings that Match the classification. Best practice is 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 may be able to consolidate different Specialty chemicals, but only if Segregation rules are followed. First review the SDS and relevant ADR/IMDG/IATA tables to ensure acids, bases, oxidizers, flammables, and other Chemical goods do not conflict. Use physical barriers and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.

Because specialty chemicals can cause Costly cleanup if leaks occur, Additional cargo insurance is advisable. Review your policy to confirm that dangerous goods and specialty chemicals are not excluded, and that coverage covers contamination, disposal, and emergency response costs where applicable.

Chemicals require specific handling procedures due to their hazardous nature. Proper labeling, packaging, and segregation of incompatible substances are essential during ocean freight. Additionally, compliance with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) regulations for the transport of hazardous materials is mandatory.

Required documentation includes a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), a Dangerous Goods Declaration (if applicable), and customs documentation for both Thailand and Italy. It is important to ensure all paperwork complies with the regulatory requirements for chemical goods to facilitate smooth customs clearance at both ports.
