When shipping from Nhava Sheva, India to Altamira, Mexico, anticipate significant delays during the southwest monsoon (June-September) due to port congestion and weather-related slow steaming. Add extra buffer days and secure priority berthing where possible. During the northeast monsoon (November-March), prepare for rough seas that may extend transit times; consider flexible routing options.

Shipping moisture-sensitive chemical goods demands high-integrity packaging, vapor-barrier wraps, and Desiccants inside cartons or overpacks. You should also 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 Industrial chemicals, tested and approved 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. Always confirm with your dangerous goods specialist or carrier whether your Specialty chemicals are fully regulated, limited quantity, or exempt before selecting packaging.
Most Chemical goods shipments must include a dangerous goods declaration, the latest SDS, and correct labels and markings that correspond to the classification. We recommend including emergency contact details, handling instructions (e.g., “Keep Dry,” “Do Not Stack”), and any Permits required by local authorities for specific chemical goods.
You Can often consolidate different chemical products, 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 Are not stored or loaded together. Use Separate pallets and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.
Because Chemical products can cause significant loss if leaks occur, specialized cargo coverage is often required by buyers. Carefully review your policy to confirm that dangerous goods and Chemical goods are not excluded, and that coverage Includes contamination, disposal, and emergency response costs where applicable.
Chemicals must be properly packed in accordance with international regulations, including the IMDG Code. Special attention should be given to labeling, handling instructions, and ensuring that the shipping containers are compatible with the chemical properties to prevent leaks or reactions during transit.
Exporters must comply with both Indian export regulations and Mexican import regulations, including obtaining necessary export permits, safety data sheets (SDS), and adhering to the specific chemical classification under the Mexican NOM standards. Additionally, customs documentation must accurately reflect the nature of the chemical goods being shipped.
