Shipping Chemicals from Singapore to Puerto Barrios via Ocean Freight

Shipping moisture-sensitive chemical goods demands Sealed primary containers, foil or poly liners, and moisture absorbers inside cartons or overpacks. You should also 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, tested and approved packaging is mandatory when shipping by road, sea, or air. The Exact UN packaging code and performance level are based on the product’s hazard class and packing group shown on the SDS.
