When shipping from Sanshui, China to Lazaro Cardenas, Mexico, anticipate the East Asia rainy season (May-October) and the Western Pacific typhoon season (June-November). Plan for additional buffer days due to potential port congestion and weather-related delays. Arrange vessel space well in advance during critical periods like Golden Week (October 1-7) and the holiday season (November-December) to avoid rollovers. Adjust schedules closely for changes, especially during peak export times (September-November) and ensure cargo is adequately secured against moisture and storm risks.

Transporting moisture-sensitive chemical goods necessitates tight-closing drums or jerricans, foil or poly liners, and moisture absorbers inside cartons or overpacks. Shippers should also clearly note “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 products, tested and approved packaging must be used when shipping by road, sea, or air. The specific 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 Specialty chemicals are fully regulated, limited quantity, or exempt before selecting packaging.
Most industrial chemicals shipments must include a DG shipping paper, the latest SDS, and complete 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 licenses required by local authorities for specific chemical goods.
You can sometimes consolidate different chemical products, 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 products do not conflict. Use physical barriers and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.
Because industrial chemicals can cause significant loss if leaks occur, enhanced freight insurance is advisable. Always 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.
Shipping chemicals between China and Mexico requires compliance with both countries' regulations, including obtaining necessary export and import permits, ensuring proper classification of chemical products, and adhering to safety and labeling standards as outlined by the respective authorities.
Chemicals shipped via ocean freight from Sanshui to Lazaro Cardenas must be packaged according to international standards to prevent leaks and contamination.
