Shipping Industrial Chemicals from Ningbo to Colombo via Ocean Freight

Shipping moisture-sensitive Chemical products demands Sealed primary containers, Barrier liners or overbags, and Desiccants inside cartons or overpacks. You should also indicate “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. The Exact UN packaging code and performance level Depend on 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 Require a dangerous goods declaration, the latest SDS, and Accurate labels and markings that Match 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 Specialty 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 not stored or loaded together. Use Separate pallets and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.

Because Chemical products can cause Costly cleanup 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 Includes contamination, disposal, and emergency response costs where applicable.

When shipping chemicals, it is essential to ensure that they are packaged according to international standards for hazardous materials. Proper labeling and documentation are required to comply with regulations during transit, and the containers must be suitable for the specific type of chemicals being transported to prevent leaks and contamination.

Regulatory requirements include obtaining necessary permits and ensuring compliance with both Chinese and Sri Lankan customs regulations. Importers in Sri Lanka must provide safety data sheets (SDS) for the chemicals, and the shipment must adhere to the guidelines set by the National Authority for the Chemical and Hazardous Waste Management in Sri Lanka.
