When shipping from Nansha, China to Newark, United States, anticipate significant delays due to the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November). Allow for extra buffer days for port operations and confirm vessel space well in advance, especially around the China Golden Week (October 1-7) and Lunar New Year (late-January to mid-February). Expect increased congestion and handling times during peak periods (July-December), and work closely with carriers to manage schedules effectively.

Transporting moisture-sensitive chemical goods demands tight-closing drums or jerricans, foil or poly liners, and moisture absorbers inside cartons or overpacks. It is important to indicate “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, tested and approved packaging is mandatory when shipping by road, sea, or air. The specific UN packaging code and performance level are based on the product’s hazard class and packing group shown on the SDS. Verify with your dangerous goods specialist or carrier whether your industrial chemicals are fully regulated, limited quantity, or exempt before selecting packaging.
Most industrial chemicals shipments must include a dangerous goods declaration, the latest SDS, and complete labels and markings that align with the classification. Best practice is including emergency contact details, handling instructions (e.g., “Keep Dry,” “Do Not Stack”), and any special approvals required by local authorities for specific chemical goods.
You can sometimes consolidate different chemical products, 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 products do not conflict. Use segregation panels and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.
Because industrial chemicals can cause significant loss if leaks occur, specialized cargo coverage is advisable. 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.
Chemicals must be handled according to specific regulations, including proper labeling, packaging, and documentation to ensure safety during transport. Additionally, it's essential to comply with the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code for hazardous materials.
Required documentation includes a Bill of Lading, Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), and any necessary import permits or certificates to comply with U.S. regulations on chemical imports, as well as customs declarations for both Chinese and U.S. authorities.
