Shipping Chemicals from San Juan to Buenos Aires via Ocean Freight

Moving moisture-sensitive specialty chemicals necessitates high-integrity packaging, Barrier liners or overbags, and moisture absorbers 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-rated packaging must be used when shipping by road, sea, or air. The applicable UN packaging code and performance level Depend 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 specialty chemicals shipments need a DG shipping paper, the latest SDS, and correct labels and markings that Match 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.

You may be able to consolidate different industrial chemicals, but only if regulatory separation requirements are met. Carefully verify the SDS and relevant ADR/IMDG/IATA tables to ensure acids, bases, oxidizers, flammables, and other Chemical goods do not conflict. Use segregation panels and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.

Because specialty chemicals can cause environmental damage if leaks occur, enhanced freight insurance is often required by buyers. Review your policy to confirm that dangerous goods and specialty chemicals are not excluded, and that coverage extends to contamination, disposal, and emergency response costs where applicable.

When shipping chemicals via ocean freight, it is essential to comply with the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code.
