Moving moisture-sensitive specialty chemicals demands tight-closing drums or jerricans, Barrier liners or overbags, and Desiccants inside cartons or overpacks. Shippers should also indicate “Keep Dry” on labels and booking notes and Avoid open or vented storage and transit equipment where humidity can build up.
For most regulated chemical goods, UN-rated packaging is mandatory when shipping by road, sea, or air. The specific UN packaging code and performance level Depend on the product’s hazard class and packing group shown on the SDS. Always confirm 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 need a dangerous goods declaration, the latest SDS, and complete labels and markings that Match the classification. We recommend including emergency contact details, handling instructions (e.g., “Keep Dry,” “Do Not Stack”), and any licenses required by local authorities for specific chemical goods.
You may be able to consolidate different industrial chemicals, but only if they are compatible. First review the SDS and relevant ADR/IMDG/IATA tables to ensure acids, bases, oxidizers, flammables, and other Chemical goods Are not stored or loaded together. Use physical barriers and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.
Because specialty chemicals can cause environmental damage if leaks occur, specialized cargo coverage is advisable. 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.
Shipping chemicals between China and the United States requires compliance with both countries' regulations, including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). Importers must ensure that chemicals are registered and that Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are provided. Additionally, proper labeling and packaging according to the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) is mandatory.
When shipping chemicals via ocean freight, it is essential to consider the compatibility of chemical products, as some may react adversely with others.
