Shipping moisture-sensitive Chemical products necessitates high-integrity packaging, vapor-barrier wraps, and drying agents 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, UN-certified packaging must be used when shipping by road, sea, or air. The applicable 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 industrial chemicals are fully regulated, limited quantity, or exempt before selecting packaging.
Most Chemical goods shipments Require a DG shipping paper, the latest SDS, and correct labels and markings that correspond to 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 Specialty chemicals, but only if regulatory separation requirements are met. Carefully verify 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 Costly cleanup if leaks occur, enhanced freight insurance is often required by buyers. Carefully 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.
When shipping chemicals, it is essential to ensure proper containment and labeling to comply with regulatory standards. Additionally, appropriate measures should be taken to prevent spills or leaks during transportation, including using specialized vehicles equipped for hazardous materials if applicable.
All chemical shipments must comply with Transport Canada's Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) regulations. This includes proper classification, labeling, and documentation of the chemical products being transported. Additionally, drivers must be trained in handling hazardous materials.
