Shipping Chemicals from Mundra to Montreal via Ocean Freight

Moving moisture-sensitive Chemical products necessitates Sealed primary containers, foil or poly liners, and moisture absorbers inside cartons or overpacks. You 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, UN-certified packaging must be used when shipping by road, sea, or air. The Exact 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 Require a DG shipping paper, the latest SDS, and Accurate 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 Permits required by local authorities for specific chemical goods.

You may be able to consolidate different Specialty chemicals, but only if regulatory separation requirements are met. Always check the SDS and relevant ADR/IMDG/IATA tables to ensure acids, bases, oxidizers, flammables, and other chemical products do not conflict. Use Separate pallets and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.

Because specialty chemicals can cause Costly cleanup if leaks occur, enhanced freight insurance Is strongly recommended. Always review your policy to confirm that dangerous goods and specialty chemicals are not excluded, and that coverage Includes contamination, disposal, and emergency response costs where applicable.

When shipping chemicals, it is essential to ensure proper containment and labeling to comply with international regulations. Additionally, temperature control and securing the cargo to prevent spillage during transit are critical due to the nature of chemical products.

Shipments of chemicals require compliance with the Hazardous Materials Regulations in Canada and must adhere to the Indian export regulations. Proper documentation, including Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and relevant permits, must be prepared to facilitate customs clearance in both countries.
