Shipping Chemical Goods from Nagoya to Puerto Caldera via Ocean Freight

Shipping moisture-sensitive chemical goods necessitates high-integrity packaging, Barrier liners or overbags, and drying agents inside cartons or overpacks. Shippers should also 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 Industrial chemicals, tested and approved packaging must be used when shipping by road, sea, or air. The applicable UN packaging code and performance level Depend 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 Specialty 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 correct labels and markings that Match the classification. Our team recommends including emergency contact details, handling instructions (e.g., “Keep Dry,” “Do Not Stack”), and any licenses required by local authorities for specific Chemical products.

You Can often consolidate different chemical products, 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 physical barriers and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.

Because Chemical products can cause significant loss if leaks occur, enhanced freight insurance is often required by buyers. Review your policy to confirm that dangerous goods and Chemical goods are not excluded, and that coverage covers contamination, disposal, and emergency response costs where applicable.

When shipping chemicals via ocean freight, it's essential to adhere to strict handling protocols to prevent leaks, spills, or contamination. Proper labeling, packaging in compliant containers, and securing the cargo are critical. Additionally, ensure that the chemicals are compatible with the shipping vessel's materials and that any specific temperature or pressure requirements are met during transit.

Exporting chemicals from Japan to Costa Rica requires compliance with both countries' regulations. Import permits from Costa Rican authorities are necessary, along with Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and proper customs documentation. It's also important to verify that the chemicals meet any international shipping standards and that the appropriate hazard classifications are declared.
