Shipping Chemical Products from Port Said to San Jose via Ocean Freight

Transporting moisture-sensitive Chemical products necessitates tight-closing drums or jerricans, Barrier liners or overbags, and Desiccants inside cartons or overpacks. You should also 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 chemical products, UN-certified packaging must be used when shipping by road, sea, or air. The specific 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 Specialty chemicals are fully regulated, limited quantity, or exempt before selecting packaging.

Most industrial chemicals shipments Require a DG shipping paper, the latest SDS, and complete labels and markings that Match 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 products.

You can sometimes consolidate different Specialty chemicals, 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 Costly cleanup if leaks occur, enhanced freight insurance is advisable. 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.

When shipping chemicals, it is essential to ensure proper packaging to prevent leaks or spills, comply with international safety standards, and label all containers according to hazardous materials regulations. Additionally, securing appropriate temperature controls during transit may be necessary for certain chemical products.

Required documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and safety data sheets (SDS) for the chemicals being shipped. It is also important to check for any specific import permits or certificates required by Costa Rican authorities for hazardous materials.
