Shipping Chemicals from Lagos to Memphis via Ocean Freight

Moving moisture-sensitive chemical goods necessitates high-integrity packaging, Barrier liners or overbags, and moisture absorbers inside cartons or overpacks. You should also Specify “Keep Dry” on labels and booking notes and Avoid open or vented storage and transit equipment where humidity can build up.

For most regulated chemical goods, tested and approved packaging must be used when shipping by road, sea, or air. The applicable 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 must include a DG shipping paper, the latest SDS, and correct 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 Permits required by local authorities for specific Chemical products.

You may be able to consolidate different chemical products, but only if regulatory separation requirements are met. Carefully verify the SDS and relevant ADR/IMDG/IATA tables to ensure acids, bases, oxidizers, flammables, and other Chemical goods do not conflict. Use Separate pallets and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.

Because specialty chemicals can cause significant loss if leaks occur, enhanced freight insurance is often required by buyers. Review your policy to confirm that dangerous goods and specialty chemicals are not excluded, and that coverage Includes contamination, disposal, and emergency response costs where applicable.
