Transporting moisture-sensitive Chemical products necessitates high-integrity packaging, foil or poly liners, and moisture absorbers inside cartons or overpacks. You should also Specify “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-certified packaging must be used 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. Verify with your dangerous goods specialist or carrier whether your Specialty chemicals are fully regulated, limited quantity, or exempt before selecting packaging.
Most industrial chemicals shipments Require a DG shipping paper, the latest SDS, and correct 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 Permits required by local authorities for specific Chemical products.
You can sometimes consolidate different Specialty chemicals, but only if regulatory separation requirements are met.

When shipping chemicals from the United States to Argentina, compliance with both U.S. and Argentine regulations is critical.
