Moving moisture-sensitive chemical goods Requires high-integrity packaging, foil or poly liners, and moisture absorbers inside cartons or overpacks. It is important to 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 chemical goods, tested and approved packaging Is required when shipping by road, sea, or air. The applicable UN packaging code and performance level are based on 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 specialty chemicals shipments must include a Transport document, the latest SDS, and correct labels and markings that align with 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 may be able to consolidate different chemical products, but only if Segregation rules are followed. Carefully verify the SDS and relevant ADR/IMDG/IATA tables to ensure acids, bases, oxidizers, flammables, and other chemical products do not conflict. Use segregation panels and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.
Because specialty chemicals can cause significant loss if leaks occur, Additional cargo insurance is often required by buyers. Always 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.
When transporting chemicals over this route, it is essential to adhere to safety regulations regarding packaging, labeling, and handling to prevent leaks or spills. Proper containment measures must be in place, and drivers should be trained in hazardous material handling.
Shipments of chemicals within China must comply with national regulations, including the proper documentation of safety data sheets (SDS), and adherence to the China Compulsory Certification (CCC) requirements for certain chemical products. Additionally, specific permits may be required based on the type of chemicals being transported.
