Moving moisture-sensitive chemical goods demands tight-closing drums or jerricans, foil or poly liners, and Desiccants inside cartons or overpacks.

For most regulated chemical goods, tested and approved packaging is mandatory 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. Always confirm 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 must include a dangerous goods declaration, the latest SDS, and complete labels and markings that align with the classification.
