Shipping Specialty Chemicals from New York to Xiamen via Ocean Freight

Shipping moisture-sensitive specialty chemicals demands high-integrity packaging, vapor-barrier wraps, 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 Industrial chemicals, UN-rated packaging is mandatory when shipping by road, sea, or air. The applicable UN packaging code and performance level are determined by 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 Chemical goods shipments need a dangerous goods declaration, the latest SDS, and correct labels and markings that correspond to 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 often consolidate different industrial chemicals, but only if they are compatible. Carefully verify the SDS and relevant ADR/IMDG/IATA tables to ensure acids, bases, oxidizers, flammables, and other Chemical goods do not conflict. Use segregation panels and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.

Because Chemical products can cause environmental damage if leaks occur, specialized cargo coverage is often required by buyers. Carefully 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.

Required documentation includes a Bill of Lading, Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), export declaration, and import permits as mandated by Chinese authorities.
