Shipping Chemicals from Salvador to Valparaiso via Ocean Freight

Transporting moisture-sensitive Chemical products demands Sealed primary containers, vapor-barrier wraps, and Desiccants inside cartons or overpacks. It is important to 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 is mandatory when shipping by road, sea, or air. The Exact 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 industrial chemicals are fully regulated, limited quantity, or exempt before selecting packaging.

Most industrial chemicals shipments Require a dangerous goods declaration, the latest SDS, and Accurate 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 special approvals required by local authorities for specific Chemical products.

You can sometimes 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 products Are not stored or loaded together. Use segregation panels and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.

Because industrial chemicals can cause Costly cleanup if leaks occur, specialized cargo coverage Is strongly recommended. Carefully 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.

When shipping chemicals, it is essential to ensure compliance with international maritime regulations, including proper labeling, packaging, and securing of cargo to prevent spills or leaks during transit.

The documentation required includes a bill of lading, safety data sheets (SDS) for each chemical product, and any necessary export permits from Brazil and import permits for Chile. Additionally, compliance with the regulations set by the Brazilian National Agency for Sanitary Surveillance (ANVISA) and the Chilean Ministry of Health may be required.
