When shipping from Sydney to Port Everglades, prepare for significant disruptions during the Australia Wet Season (November-April) due to heavy rainfall and flooding. Schedule critical sailings outside peak monsoon periods (December-March) and allow extra buffer days for port operations. Additionally, secure vessel space well in advance for the Christmas retail peak (October-December) to avoid congestion and prepare for longer terminal dwell times. Increase oversight on weather routing and adjust schedules during the Southern Ocean Storm Season (May-September) to mitigate delays from severe weather.

Moving moisture-sensitive specialty chemicals demands tight-closing drums or jerricans, foil or poly liners, and moisture absorbers inside cartons or overpacks. It is important to Specify “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 chemical goods, 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. Verify 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 need a dangerous goods declaration, the latest SDS, and complete labels and markings that align with the classification. Best practice is 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 may be able to 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 do not conflict. Use segregation panels and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.
Because specialty 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.
Shipping chemicals from Australia to the United States requires compliance with various regulations including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidelines and the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). Additionally, the chemicals must be properly classified, labeled, and accompanied by Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) as per both Australian and U.S. regulations.
Required documentation for shipping chemicals via ocean freight includes a bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and any necessary permits or certificates related to the specific chemical products being shipped. It is also essential to include import permits for the United States, if applicable, to ensure compliance at Port Everglades.
