Moving moisture-sensitive chemical goods demands high-integrity packaging, vapor-barrier wraps, and Desiccants inside cartons or overpacks. Shippers 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 goods, tested and approved packaging is mandatory 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. Always confirm with your dangerous goods specialist or carrier whether your industrial chemicals are fully regulated, limited quantity, or exempt before selecting packaging.
Most specialty chemicals shipments must include a dangerous goods declaration, the latest SDS, and correct labels and markings that correspond to the classification.
