Shipping Industrial Chemicals from Penang to Newark via Ocean Freight

Transporting moisture-sensitive chemical goods necessitates tight-closing drums or jerricans, vapor-barrier wraps, and Desiccants inside cartons or overpacks. You should also clearly note “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 products, tested and approved packaging must be used when shipping by road, sea, or air. The specific UN packaging code and performance level are determined by 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 industrial chemicals shipments must include a DG shipping paper, the latest SDS, and complete labels and markings that correspond to 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 sometimes consolidate different chemical products, but only if regulatory separation requirements are met. First review 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 industrial chemicals can cause significant loss if leaks occur, enhanced freight insurance is advisable. Carefully 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.
