Shipping Chemical Goods from Miami to Veracruz via Ocean Freight

Shipping moisture-sensitive specialty chemicals demands tight-closing drums or jerricans, Barrier liners or overbags, and drying agents inside cartons or overpacks. It is important to 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-rated packaging is mandatory 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 need a dangerous goods declaration, 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 industrial chemicals, but only if they are compatible. 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 environmental damage if leaks occur, specialized cargo coverage 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.

When shipping chemicals, it is essential to ensure proper labeling, packaging, and compliance with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) regulations. Additionally, it is crucial to assess the compatibility of the chemicals being transported to prevent any hazardous reactions during transit.

Required documentation includes a bill of lading, safety data sheets (SDS), and any applicable export permits from the U.S. government. Additionally, import permits from the Mexican government may be necessary, depending on the type of chemicals being shipped.
