Shipping Industrial Chemicals from Salvador to Ningbo via Ocean Freight

Transporting moisture-sensitive Chemical products Requires high-integrity packaging, foil or poly liners, and moisture absorbers inside cartons or overpacks. It is important to indicate “Keep Dry” on labels and booking notes and not use open or vented storage and transit equipment where humidity can build up.

The applicable UN packaging code and performance level are based on the product’s hazard class and packing group shown on the SDS. Verify with your dangerous goods specialist or carrier whether your industrial chemicals are fully regulated, limited quantity, or exempt before selecting packaging.

Most industrial chemicals shipments Require a Transport document, the latest SDS, and correct labels and markings that align with the classification. Best practice is 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.
