Transporting moisture-sensitive specialty chemicals demands tight-closing drums or jerricans, foil or poly liners, and drying agents inside cartons or overpacks. It is important to Specify “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 chemical products, UN-rated packaging is mandatory 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. Be sure to confirm with your dangerous goods specialist or carrier whether your industrial chemicals are fully regulated, limited quantity, or exempt before selecting packaging.
Most industrial chemicals shipments need a dangerous goods declaration, the latest SDS, and complete 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 special approvals required by local authorities for specific Chemical products.
You can sometimes consolidate different industrial chemicals, but only if they are compatible. First review the SDS and relevant ADR/IMDG/IATA tables to ensure acids, bases, oxidizers, flammables, and other chemical products are properly separated. Use segregation panels and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.
Because industrial chemicals can cause environmental damage if leaks occur, specialized cargo coverage is advisable. Always review your policy to confirm that dangerous goods and specialty chemicals are not excluded, and that coverage extends to contamination, disposal, and emergency response costs where applicable.
When shipping chemicals, it is essential to ensure proper containment and labeling according to international standards, as well as adherence to the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code. Additionally, specialized containers may be required to prevent leaks and ensure compliance with safety regulations during transit.
Shipping chemicals from Brazil to the United States requires compliance with both Brazilian export regulations and U.S. import regulations, including the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations and the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).
