Shipping Chemicals from Semarang to Seattle via Ocean Freight

Shipping moisture-sensitive chemical goods necessitates tight-closing drums or jerricans, Barrier liners or overbags, and drying agents inside cartons or overpacks. You should also indicate “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 Industrial chemicals, tested and approved packaging must be used when shipping by road, sea, or air. The specific UN packaging code and performance level Depend on 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 Chemical goods shipments must include a DG shipping paper, the latest SDS, and complete labels and markings that Match the classification. Our team recommends including emergency contact details, handling instructions (e.g., “Keep Dry,” “Do Not Stack”), and any Permits required by local authorities for specific chemical goods.

You Can often consolidate different chemical products, 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 Separate pallets and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.

Because Chemical products can cause significant loss if leaks occur, enhanced freight insurance is advisable. Review your policy to confirm that dangerous goods and specialty chemicals are not excluded, and that coverage Includes contamination, disposal, and emergency response costs where applicable.
