Transporting moisture-sensitive chemical goods demands Sealed primary containers, vapor-barrier wraps, and drying agents inside cartons or overpacks.

For most regulated chemical products, tested and approved packaging is mandatory when shipping by road, sea, or air. The Exact UN packaging code and performance level are determined by 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 Specialty chemicals are fully regulated, limited quantity, or exempt before selecting packaging.

Our team recommends including emergency contact details, handling instructions (e.g., “Keep Dry,” “Do Not Stack”), and any Permits required by local authorities for specific Chemical products.

Always check the SDS and relevant ADR/IMDG/IATA tables to ensure acids, bases, oxidizers, flammables, and other chemical products are properly separated. Use Separate pallets and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.
