When shipping from Surabaya to Tampa, anticipate significant delays due to the Southeast Asia Monsoon Season (May-November) and the Indian Ocean Cyclone Season (April-June, October-December). Add buffer days to schedules and arrange flexible port windows to accommodate potential disruptions. During peak holiday periods like Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) and Christmas (October-December), account for increased congestion and tighter capacity. Communicate regularly with carriers for real-time updates and explore alternative routings to mitigate risks associated with severe weather and holiday slowdowns.

Shipping moisture-sensitive chemical goods necessitates high-integrity packaging, vapor-barrier wraps, and moisture absorbers inside cartons or overpacks. Shippers should also clearly note “Keep Dry” on labels and booking notes and Avoid 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 applicable UN packaging code and performance level are determined by the product’s hazard class and packing group shown on the SDS. Verify with your dangerous goods specialist or carrier whether your industrial 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 correct labels and markings that correspond to the classification. Best practice is including emergency contact details, handling instructions (e.g., “Keep Dry,” “Do Not Stack”), and any licenses required by local authorities for specific chemical goods.
You Can often consolidate different chemical products, but only if regulatory separation requirements are met. Carefully verify the SDS and relevant ADR/IMDG/IATA tables to ensure acids, bases, oxidizers, flammables, and other chemical products do not conflict. 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 often required by buyers. Carefully 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.
Shipping chemicals requires adherence to specific handling protocols, including proper labeling, containment measures, and compliance with international maritime regulations to ensure safety and minimize risks during transport.
