Shipping moisture-sensitive chemical goods Requires tight-closing drums or jerricans, foil or poly liners, and Desiccants inside cartons or overpacks. It is important to clearly note “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, tested and approved packaging Is required when shipping by road, sea, or air. The specific UN packaging code and performance level are based on the product’s hazard class and packing group shown on the SDS. Always confirm 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 must include a Transport document, the latest SDS, and complete labels and markings that align with the classification. We recommend 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 chemical products, but only if Segregation rules are followed. First review the SDS and relevant ADR/IMDG/IATA tables to ensure acids, bases, oxidizers, flammables, and other chemical products Are not stored or loaded together. Use segregation panels and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.
Because Chemical products can cause significant loss if leaks occur, Additional cargo insurance is advisable. Always review your policy to confirm that dangerous goods and Chemical goods are not excluded, and that coverage extends to contamination, disposal, and emergency response costs where applicable.
When shipping chemicals, it is crucial to ensure proper packaging that complies with international regulations, including the use of UN-approved containers. Additionally, the cargo must be labeled correctly to indicate the nature of the chemicals, and adequate safety data sheets (SDS) should accompany the shipment to inform handlers of potential hazards.
The shipment of chemicals requires several key documents, including a bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and specific permits or certificates related to the chemicals being shipped.
