Shipping Chemical Goods from Semarang to Navegantes via Ocean Freight

Transporting moisture-sensitive Chemical products necessitates tight-closing drums or jerricans, vapor-barrier wraps, and drying agents inside cartons or overpacks. Shippers should also Specify “Keep Dry” on labels and booking notes and not use 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 specific UN packaging code and performance level are determined by the product’s hazard class and packing group shown on the SDS. Be sure to confirm 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 Require a DG shipping paper, the latest SDS, and complete labels and markings that correspond to the classification. Our team recommends including emergency contact details, handling instructions (e.g., “Keep Dry,” “Do Not Stack”), and any licenses required by local authorities for specific Chemical products.

You can sometimes consolidate different Specialty chemicals, 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 goods are properly separated. Use physical barriers and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.

Because industrial chemicals can cause Costly cleanup if leaks occur, enhanced freight insurance is advisable. Carefully 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.

The shipment of chemicals between Indonesia and Brazil must comply with both countries' regulations, including proper classification of chemicals under the GHS (Globally Harmonized System) and adherence to Brazil's ANVISA (National Health Surveillance Agency) requirements for hazardous materials. Additionally, all necessary documentation such as Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and import permits must be prepared to facilitate customs clearance.

When shipping chemicals, it is essential to ensure that the cargo is properly packaged and labeled according to international standards, particularly the IMDG Code (International Maritime Dangerous Goods). Special care should be taken to prevent leaks or contamination during transit, and it may be necessary to use temperature-controlled containers depending on the chemical properties.
