Shipping Chemicals from Long Beach to Honolulu via Ocean Freight

Shipping moisture-sensitive Chemical products necessitates tight-closing drums or jerricans, Barrier liners or overbags, 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-certified packaging must be used 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. 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 Require a DG shipping paper, the latest SDS, and complete labels and markings that Match 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 Specialty 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 Chemical products can cause Costly cleanup if leaks occur, enhanced freight insurance is advisable. 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.

Shipping chemicals requires compliance with safety regulations, including proper labeling, packaging, and segregation from incompatible materials. Additionally, ensure that containers are secured to prevent leakage during ocean transit.

Required documentation includes a bill of lading, Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for each chemical, and any necessary permits or certificates specific to the chemicals being transported, in accordance with U.S. regulations.
