Shipping moisture-sensitive Chemical products demands high-integrity packaging, Barrier liners or overbags, and Desiccants inside cartons or overpacks. You should also Specify “Keep Dry” on labels and booking notes and Avoid open or vented storage and transit equipment where humidity can build up.
For most regulated Industrial chemicals, UN-certified packaging is mandatory when shipping by road, sea, or air.
