Shipping Chemicals from Surabaya to San Juan via Ocean Freight

Moving moisture-sensitive Chemical products Requires tight-closing drums or jerricans, Barrier liners or overbags, and Desiccants inside cartons or overpacks. It is important to 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 chemical goods, UN-certified packaging Is required when shipping by road, sea, or air. The specific UN packaging code and performance level Depend on 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 Require a Transport document, the latest SDS, and complete labels and markings that Match the classification. We recommend 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 Specialty chemicals, but only if Segregation rules are followed. First review the SDS and relevant ADR/IMDG/IATA tables to ensure acids, bases, oxidizers, flammables, and other Chemical goods Are not stored or loaded together. Use segregation panels and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.

Because specialty chemicals can cause Costly cleanup if leaks occur, Additional cargo insurance is advisable. 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.

When shipping chemicals via ocean freight, it is essential to ensure proper labeling, packaging, and compliance with international regulations, including the IMDG Code for dangerous goods.
