Shipping Chemical Goods from Nagoya to Newark via Ocean Freight

Shipping moisture-sensitive specialty chemicals demands Sealed primary containers, foil or poly liners, and drying agents inside cartons or overpacks. It is important to Specify “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 Exact UN packaging code and performance level are based 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 Accurate labels and markings that align with 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 products.

You Can often consolidate different industrial chemicals, but only if they are compatible. Always check the SDS and relevant ADR/IMDG/IATA tables to ensure acids, bases, oxidizers, flammables, and other chemical products 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 strongly recommended. 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.

Shipments of chemicals from Japan to the United States must comply with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations, including the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).

Importers in the U.S. must also ensure compliance with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) requirements.

When shipping chemicals via ocean freight, it is essential to use appropriate containers that meet international standards for hazardous materials.
