Shipping moisture-sensitive chemical goods necessitates Sealed primary containers, foil or poly liners, and drying agents inside cartons or overpacks. Shippers should also clearly note “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 Exact UN packaging code and performance level are based 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 Accurate labels and markings that align with 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 often consolidate different chemical products, but only if regulatory separation requirements are met. Always check the SDS and relevant ADR/IMDG/IATA tables to ensure acids, bases, oxidizers, flammables, and other chemical products are properly separated. Use physical barriers and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.
Because Chemical products can cause significant loss if leaks occur, enhanced freight insurance Is strongly recommended. 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.
