Shipping Chemical Goods from Naples to Newark via Ocean Freight

Transporting moisture-sensitive Chemical products Requires high-integrity packaging, Barrier liners or overbags, and drying agents inside cartons or overpacks. It is important to 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 required 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 industrial chemicals are fully regulated, limited quantity, or exempt before selecting packaging.

Most industrial chemicals shipments Require a Transport document, 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 special approvals required by local authorities for specific Chemical products.

You can sometimes consolidate different Specialty chemicals, but only if Segregation rules are followed. 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 industrial chemicals can cause Costly cleanup if leaks occur, Additional cargo insurance is often required by buyers. 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.
