Shipping Chemical Products from Port Klang to Atlanta via Ocean Freight

Moving moisture-sensitive Chemical products necessitates Sealed primary containers, Barrier liners or overbags, and Desiccants 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, UN-certified packaging must be used 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 industrial chemicals are fully regulated, limited quantity, or exempt before selecting packaging.

Most specialty chemicals shipments Require a DG shipping paper, 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 special approvals required by local authorities for specific chemical goods.

You may be able to consolidate different Specialty chemicals, but only if regulatory separation requirements are met. 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 segregation panels and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.

Because specialty chemicals can cause Costly cleanup if leaks occur, enhanced freight insurance Is strongly recommended. 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.
