Transporting moisture-sensitive Chemical products demands high-integrity packaging, foil or poly liners, and drying agents inside cartons or overpacks. Shippers should also 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 chemical products, UN-certified 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. 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 industrial chemicals shipments Require a dangerous goods declaration, the latest SDS, and correct 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 licenses required by local authorities for specific Chemical products.
You can sometimes consolidate different Specialty 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 properly separated. Use physical barriers and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.
Because industrial chemicals can cause Costly cleanup if leaks occur, specialized cargo coverage is often required by buyers. Always review your policy to confirm that dangerous goods and specialty chemicals are not excluded, and that coverage covers contamination, disposal, and emergency response costs where applicable.
When shipping chemicals, it is essential to comply with safety regulations and ensure proper containment to prevent leaks or spills. Additionally, specific packaging and labeling requirements must be adhered to, including the use of UN-approved containers and clear hazard markings.
Shipments of chemicals from Nanjing to Navegantes must comply with both Chinese export regulations and Brazilian import regulations, including obtaining necessary permits, safety data sheets, and ensuring compliance with the Brazilian Ministry of Health's ANVISA regulations for hazardous substances.
