When shipping from Montreal to Hong Kong via ocean, anticipate significant delays due to North America winter storms (December-March) and North Atlantic winter storms (November-March); build in extra time for potential disruptions. Additionally, confirm vessel space well in advance for the Christmas retail peak (October-December) and Lunar New Year (January-February) to avoid capacity shortages. During the rainy season in East Asia (May-October), account for weather-related delays by adjusting cut-off times and ensuring moisture control measures are in place.

Shipping moisture-sensitive chemical goods necessitates tight-closing drums or jerricans, foil or poly liners, and moisture absorbers inside cartons or overpacks. It is important to indicate “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, tested and approved packaging must be used when shipping by road, sea, or air. The specific 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 industrial chemicals are fully regulated, limited quantity, or exempt before selecting packaging.
Most Chemical goods shipments must include a DG shipping paper, the latest SDS, and complete 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 special approvals required by local authorities for specific chemical goods.
You Can often consolidate different chemical products, but only if regulatory separation requirements are met. First review the SDS and relevant ADR/IMDG/IATA tables to ensure acids, bases, oxidizers, flammables, and other chemical products do not conflict. Use segregation panels and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.
Because Chemical products can cause significant loss if leaks occur, enhanced freight insurance is advisable. Always review your policy to confirm that dangerous goods and specialty chemicals are not excluded, and that coverage extends to contamination, disposal, and emergency response costs where applicable.
