Shipping Industrial Chemicals from Manila to Ningbo via Ocean Freight

Shipping moisture-sensitive Chemical products necessitates Sealed primary containers, foil or poly liners, and moisture absorbers inside cartons or overpacks. You 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 Industrial chemicals, UN-certified packaging must be used when shipping by road, sea, or air. The Exact UN packaging code and performance level are based 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 Chemical goods shipments Require a DG shipping paper, the latest SDS, and Accurate labels and markings that align with 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 Can often consolidate different Specialty chemicals, but only if regulatory separation requirements are met. Always check the SDS and relevant ADR/IMDG/IATA tables to ensure acids, bases, oxidizers, flammables, and other chemical products do not conflict. Use Separate pallets and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.

Because Chemical products can cause Costly cleanup if leaks occur, enhanced freight insurance Is strongly recommended. Always 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.
