Shipping Chemical Products from Penang to Fortaleza via Ocean Freight

Shipping moisture-sensitive Chemical products demands Sealed primary containers, Barrier liners or overbags, and drying agents 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, 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. Be sure to 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. Our team recommends 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 properly separated. 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 specialty chemicals are not excluded, and that coverage Includes contamination, disposal, and emergency response costs where applicable.

Chemicals must be packaged according to international standards to prevent leaks and contamination during transport. Proper labeling, including hazard symbols, is essential. Additionally, specific temperature controls may be necessary depending on the type of chemical being shipped.

Exporters must comply with both Malaysian and Brazilian regulations regarding the shipment of chemicals, including obtaining necessary permits and ensuring that all documentation, such as the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and customs declarations, are accurately completed to avoid delays at customs.
