Shipping Specialty Chemicals from Nanjing to Shenzhen via Ocean Freight

Shipping moisture-sensitive chemical goods demands high-integrity packaging, vapor-barrier wraps, and drying agents inside cartons or overpacks. It is important to 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 is mandatory 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 must include a dangerous goods declaration, 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 products.

You Can often consolidate different chemical products, 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 goods are properly separated. Use segregation panels and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.

Because Chemical products can cause significant loss if leaks occur, specialized cargo coverage 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 via ocean from Nanjing to Shenzhen, it is essential to adhere to specific handling procedures, including proper packaging to prevent leaks, use of appropriate containers that meet regulatory standards, and ensuring that all hazardous materials are labeled according to Chinese regulations.
