Shipping Chemicals from Montreal to Puerto Caldera via Ocean Freight

Moving moisture-sensitive specialty chemicals demands high-integrity packaging, foil or poly liners, and Desiccants inside cartons or overpacks. It is important to clearly note “Keep Dry” on labels and booking notes and steer clear of open or vented storage and transit equipment where humidity can build up.

For most regulated chemical goods, UN-rated packaging is mandatory 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. Always confirm with your dangerous goods specialist or carrier whether your industrial chemicals are fully regulated, limited quantity, or exempt before selecting packaging.

Most specialty chemicals shipments need a dangerous goods declaration, the latest SDS, and correct labels and markings that align with the classification. We recommend including emergency contact details, handling instructions (e.g., “Keep Dry,” “Do Not Stack”), and any special approvals required by local authorities for specific Chemical products.

You may be able to consolidate different industrial chemicals, but only if they are compatible. Carefully verify the SDS and relevant ADR/IMDG/IATA tables to ensure acids, bases, oxidizers, flammables, and other chemical products Are not stored or loaded together. Use segregation panels and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.

Because specialty chemicals can cause environmental damage if leaks occur, specialized cargo coverage is often required by buyers. Always 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.
