Be prepared for potential disruptions during the Eastern Pacific Hurricane Season (May-November) by scheduling sailings outside peak storm activity (August-October) and incorporating buffer days for port closures. Lock in vessel space well in advance for the Christmas retail peak (October-December) to avoid congestion and anticipate longer transit times. Additionally, assess weather conditions closely during winter storms (December-March) and explore alternative routing options to mitigate delays.

Transporting moisture-sensitive chemical goods necessitates high-integrity packaging, foil or poly liners, and drying agents inside cartons or overpacks. It is important to 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 products, tested and approved packaging must be used 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 industrial chemicals shipments must include a DG shipping paper, 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 products.
You can sometimes 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 products are properly separated. Use segregation panels and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.
Because industrial chemicals can cause significant loss if leaks occur, enhanced freight insurance 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 containment and labeling of all chemical products to comply with safety regulations. Additionally, the cargo should be stowed in a manner that prevents any potential reactions between incompatible substances.
Required documentation typically includes a Bill of Lading, Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), and any necessary import/export permits. Compliance with the Mexican regulatory framework for hazardous materials is also crucial to ensure smooth customs clearance.
