Shipping Chemical Products from New York to Denver via Ocean Freight

Transporting moisture-sensitive specialty chemicals demands Sealed primary containers, Barrier liners or overbags, and drying agents inside cartons or overpacks. It is important to clearly note “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-rated packaging is mandatory when shipping by road, sea, or air. The Exact 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 need a dangerous goods declaration, the latest SDS, and Accurate 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 goods.

You can sometimes consolidate different industrial chemicals, but only if they are compatible. Always check 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 environmental damage if leaks occur, specialized cargo coverage Is strongly recommended. 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.

Proper labeling, packaging, and documentation are crucial to ensure safety and adherence to regulations during transport. Additionally, appropriate temperature control and containment measures should be considered based on the specific chemical properties.

Regulatory requirements include adhering to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidelines and the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations, which govern the transportation of hazardous materials.
