Shipping Specialty Chemicals from Navegantes to Xiamen via Ocean Freight

Transporting moisture-sensitive specialty chemicals Requires high-integrity packaging, foil or poly liners, and Desiccants inside cartons or overpacks. It is important to indicate “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 chemical products, UN-rated packaging Is required 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. Always 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 need a Transport document, the latest SDS, and correct labels and markings that align with the classification. We recommend 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 industrial 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 products Are not stored or loaded together. Use segregation panels and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.

Because industrial chemicals can cause environmental damage if leaks occur, Additional cargo insurance is often required by buyers. Always review your policy to confirm that dangerous goods and Chemical goods are not excluded, and that coverage extends to contamination, disposal, and emergency response costs where applicable.

The required documentation includes a bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and specific chemical export permits from Brazil, as well as compliance with China's import regulations for hazardous materials, including safety data sheets (SDS) and any necessary import permits.

Chemicals must be properly packaged according to international maritime regulations, including the IMDG Code. Special handling procedures may be necessary to prevent leaks or spills, and containers must be clearly labeled with hazard symbols and handling instructions to ensure safe transport.
