Shipping Chemical Goods from Miami to Istanbul via Ocean Freight

Moving moisture-sensitive chemical goods Requires high-integrity packaging, foil or poly liners, and moisture absorbers 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, tested and approved packaging Is required 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. Verify with your dangerous goods specialist or carrier whether your Specialty chemicals are fully regulated, limited quantity, or exempt before selecting packaging.

Most specialty chemicals shipments must include a Transport document, the latest SDS, and correct 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 licenses required by local authorities for specific chemical goods.

You may be able to consolidate different chemical products, but only if Segregation rules are followed. Carefully verify the SDS and relevant ADR/IMDG/IATA tables to ensure acids, bases, oxidizers, flammables, and other chemical products do not conflict. Use physical barriers and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.

Because specialty chemicals can cause significant loss if leaks occur, Additional cargo insurance is often required by buyers. Always review your policy to confirm that dangerous goods and specialty chemicals are not excluded, and that coverage covers contamination, disposal, and emergency response costs where applicable.

When shipping chemicals, it is crucial to ensure that the cargo is properly packaged and labeled according to international regulations. The containers must be suitable for the specific type of chemicals being transported, and appropriate safety data sheets should accompany the shipment. Additionally, the handling facilities at both the Port of Miami and the Port of Istanbul must be equipped to manage hazardous materials if applicable.
