Moving moisture-sensitive Chemical products demands high-integrity packaging, vapor-barrier wraps, and Desiccants inside cartons or overpacks. Shippers should also clearly note “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 chemical goods, UN-certified packaging is mandatory when shipping by road, sea, or air. The applicable UN packaging code and performance level are determined by the product’s hazard class and packing group shown on the SDS. Always 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 Require a dangerous goods declaration, the latest SDS, and correct labels and markings that correspond to the classification. We recommend including emergency contact details, handling instructions (e.g., “Keep Dry,” “Do Not Stack”), and any licenses required by local authorities for specific Chemical products.
You may be able to consolidate different Specialty chemicals, but only if they are compatible. Carefully verify the SDS and relevant ADR/IMDG/IATA tables to ensure acids, bases, oxidizers, flammables, and other chemical products Are not stored or loaded together. Use physical barriers and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.
Because specialty chemicals can cause Costly cleanup if leaks occur, specialized cargo coverage is often required by buyers. Carefully review your policy to confirm that dangerous goods and Chemical goods are not excluded, and that coverage covers contamination, disposal, and emergency response costs where applicable.
Shipping chemicals requires adherence to specific handling protocols to ensure safety and compliance. This includes proper labeling, securing containers to prevent leaks, and using suitable packaging materials that meet international regulations. Additionally, it is essential to have Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) available for all chemical products being transported.
Regulatory requirements include compliance with the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA) and the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act. Importers must ensure that the chemicals are registered with the Canadian government and that all necessary permits and documentation, such as import declarations and safety data sheets, are prepared prior to shipment.
