Shipping Chemicals from Semarang to Veracruz via Ocean Freight

Moving moisture-sensitive Chemical products Requires tight-closing drums or jerricans, foil or poly liners, and moisture absorbers inside cartons or overpacks. Shippers 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 chemical goods, 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. Verify with your dangerous goods specialist or carrier whether your Specialty chemicals are fully regulated, limited quantity, or exempt before selecting packaging.

Most specialty chemicals shipments Require a Transport document, the latest SDS, and complete labels and markings that align with the classification. Best practice is including emergency contact details, handling instructions (e.g., “Keep Dry,” “Do Not Stack”), and any licenses required by local authorities for specific chemical goods.

You may be able to 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 do not conflict. Use physical barriers and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.

Because specialty chemicals can cause Costly cleanup if leaks occur, Additional cargo insurance is advisable. Always 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.

Chemicals must be packaged in compliance with international regulations, ensuring they are properly labeled and secured to prevent leaks or spills during transit. Additionally, vessels used for transporting chemicals should have the appropriate certifications for carrying hazardous materials.
