Shipping Industrial Chemicals from Seattle to Montreal via Ocean Freight

Transporting moisture-sensitive Chemical products necessitates high-integrity packaging, vapor-barrier wraps, and Desiccants inside cartons or overpacks. You should also clearly note “Keep Dry” on labels and booking notes and Avoid open or vented storage and transit equipment where humidity can build up.

For most regulated chemical products, UN-certified 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.

Most industrial chemicals shipments Require a DG shipping paper, the latest SDS, and correct labels and markings that correspond to the classification. 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 goods.

Use Separate pallets and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.
