Protected shipping of your valuable Specialty Chemicals freight
Taiwan
China
The ocean route from Taipei to Ningbo offers significant advantages for transporting chemical goods, providing a reliable and efficient means for moving industrial chemicals across a distance of 524 kilometers. This maritime pathway ensures the safe handling of specialty chemicals, minimizing the risk of contamination or damage during transit. Additionally, the ocean transport allows for larger quantities to be shipped at once, optimizing logistics costs and enhancing supply chain efficiency.
Taipei boasts a well-developed port infrastructure equipped to handle various types of chemical products, ensuring compliance with safety regulations and environmental standards. Similarly, Ningbo's port is one of the busiest in the world, featuring advanced facilities designed for the efficient unloading and storage of chemical goods. Both ports are supported by robust transportation networks, facilitating seamless connections to inland distribution channels, further streamlining the logistics process for industrial chemicals.

When shipping from Taipei to Ningbo, prepare for significant delays during the East Asia rainy season (May-October) and typhoon season (June-November), which can affect port operations and inland transport. Book vessel space well in advance, especially before the Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) and Golden Week (October 1-7), to avoid congestion and capacity shortages. Build in extra buffer days for transit times and communicate closely with local agents to manage potential disruptions during these peak periods.

Moving moisture-sensitive specialty chemicals demands high-integrity packaging, foil or poly liners, and moisture absorbers inside cartons or overpacks. Shippers should also 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 applicable 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 correct 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 licenses required by local authorities for specific Chemical products.
You may be able to consolidate different industrial chemicals, but only if they are compatible. 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 specialty chemicals can cause environmental damage if leaks occur, specialized cargo coverage is often required by buyers. Always 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.
When shipping chemicals, it is essential to ensure proper packaging that complies with international regulations. Additionally, the cargo must be labeled according to the specific chemical's hazard classification, and appropriate safety data sheets should accompany the shipment.
The required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any specific permits related to the chemicals being shipped. It is also necessary to provide a declaration of the chemical composition and safety data sheets to comply with regulatory requirements.
