Shipping Chemical Products from Semarang to Manaus via Ocean Freight

Shipping moisture-sensitive Chemical products Requires tight-closing drums or jerricans, foil or poly liners, and Desiccants inside cartons or overpacks. It is important to 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 Industrial chemicals, UN-certified packaging Is required 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 Chemical goods shipments Require a Transport document, the latest SDS, and complete labels and markings that align with the classification. We recommend including emergency contact details, handling instructions (e.g., “Keep Dry,” “Do Not Stack”), and any special approvals required by local authorities for specific Chemical products.

You Can often consolidate different Specialty chemicals, but only if Segregation rules are followed. First review the SDS and relevant ADR/IMDG/IATA tables to ensure acids, bases, oxidizers, flammables, and other chemical products Are not stored or loaded together. Use segregation panels and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.

Because Chemical products can cause Costly cleanup if leaks occur, Additional cargo insurance is advisable. Always review your policy to confirm that dangerous goods and Chemical goods are not excluded, and that coverage extends to contamination, disposal, and emergency response costs where applicable.

Shipping chemicals between Indonesia and Brazil requires compliance with both countries' regulations, including obtaining necessary export permits from Indonesia and ensuring that the chemicals meet Brazil's ANVISA (National Health Surveillance Agency) regulations for importation. Specific documentation such as the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and a customs declaration must also be provided.

Handling chemicals during ocean freight requires adherence to safety protocols, including appropriate packaging to prevent leaks or spills, proper labeling according to the UN classification system, and ensuring that containers are securely sealed. Additionally, it is essential to monitor temperature and humidity levels during transport, as certain chemicals may be sensitive to environmental conditions.
