Transporting moisture-sensitive specialty chemicals demands Sealed primary containers, vapor-barrier wraps, and Desiccants inside cartons or overpacks.

For most regulated chemical products, UN-rated 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 Specialty chemicals are fully regulated, limited quantity, or exempt before selecting packaging.

We recommend including emergency contact details, handling instructions (e.g., “Keep Dry,” “Do Not Stack”), and any Permits required by local authorities for specific Chemical products.
You can sometimes consolidate different industrial 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 goods Are not stored or loaded together. Use Separate pallets and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.

Carefully review your policy to confirm that dangerous goods and Chemical goods are not excluded, and that coverage Includes contamination, disposal, and emergency response costs where applicable.
Shipments of chemicals require specific documentation, including a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), a commercial invoice, and a packing list. Additionally, an export declaration from Brazilian authorities and import permits as per Chinese regulations are necessary.
