When shipping from Surabaya, Indonesia to Callao, Peru, prepare for significant delays due to the Southeast Asia Monsoon Season (May-September) and the Indian Ocean Cyclone Season (April-June, October-December). Add buffer days to your schedules and confirm vessel space at least 3-4 weeks in advance. Coordinate closely with carriers for real-time updates, as port congestion and weather disruptions are common during these periods. Additionally, account for the impact of the Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) and holiday periods (December-January) on operations, as staffing and customs processing may be limited.

Moving moisture-sensitive chemical goods necessitates tight-closing drums or jerricans, foil or poly liners, and drying agents inside cartons or overpacks. It is important to indicate “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 goods, tested and approved packaging must be used 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 specialty chemicals shipments must include a DG shipping paper, 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 goods.
You may be able to consolidate different chemical products, but only if regulatory separation requirements are met. 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 specialty chemicals can cause significant loss if leaks occur, enhanced freight insurance is advisable. Always review your policy to confirm that dangerous goods and Chemical goods are not excluded, and that coverage extends to contamination, disposal, and emergency response costs where applicable.
Shipping chemicals between Indonesia and Peru requires compliance with both countries' regulations regarding hazardous materials, including obtaining the necessary permits and ensuring that the chemicals are classified according to international standards such as the UN Model Regulations. Additionally, appropriate labeling and Safety Data Sheets (SDS) must accompany the shipment.
The Port of Callao is equipped to handle chemical shipments, but it is essential to confirm that the facilities can accommodate the specific type of chemicals being transported. This includes ensuring that the port has the necessary infrastructure for storage and handling of hazardous materials, as well as adherence to local environmental regulations.
