Shipping Chemical Goods from Tampa to Atlanta via Ocean Freight

Shipping moisture-sensitive Chemical products necessitates tight-closing drums or jerricans, foil or poly liners, and Desiccants 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, UN-certified 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. Always confirm with your dangerous goods specialist or carrier whether your Specialty chemicals are fully regulated, limited quantity, or exempt before selecting packaging.

Most Chemical goods shipments Require a DG shipping paper, the latest SDS, and complete labels and markings that align with the classification. We recommend 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 Specialty chemicals, 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 not stored or loaded together. Use physical barriers and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.

Because Chemical products can cause Costly cleanup 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 covers contamination, disposal, and emergency response costs where applicable.
