Moving moisture-sensitive chemical goods necessitates high-integrity packaging, vapor-barrier wraps, and moisture absorbers inside cartons or overpacks. Shippers should also Specify “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, tested and approved packaging must be used when shipping by road, sea, or air. The applicable UN packaging code and performance level are determined by the product’s hazard class and packing group shown on the SDS. Verify with your dangerous goods specialist or carrier whether your Specialty chemicals are fully regulated, limited quantity, or exempt before selecting packaging.
Most specialty chemicals shipments must include a DG shipping paper, the latest SDS, and correct labels and markings that correspond to the classification. Best practice is including emergency contact details, handling instructions (e.g., “Keep Dry,” “Do Not Stack”), and any licenses required by local authorities for specific Chemical products.
You may be able to consolidate different chemical products, 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 products do not conflict. Use physical barriers and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.
Because specialty chemicals can cause significant loss if leaks occur, enhanced freight insurance is often required by buyers. Carefully review your policy to confirm that dangerous goods and specialty chemicals are not excluded, and that coverage covers contamination, disposal, and emergency response costs where applicable.
When shipping chemicals, it is essential to adhere to the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code, which governs the safe transport of hazardous materials by sea. Proper labeling, packaging, and documentation are crucial to ensure compliance and safety during transit. Additionally, ensure that the cargo is stowed and secured according to the specific requirements for chemical products to prevent leaks and spills.
Required documentation typically includes a bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for the chemicals being shipped. Additionally, a Dangerous Goods Declaration may be needed if the chemicals are classified as hazardous. It is also essential to comply with any specific regulatory requirements set forth by the Peruvian authorities for the importation of chemical goods.
