Shipping Chemicals from Tampa to San Juan via Ocean Freight

Transporting moisture-sensitive specialty chemicals Requires Sealed primary containers, Barrier liners or overbags, and drying agents inside cartons or overpacks. You should also 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 products, UN-rated packaging Is required when shipping by road, sea, or air. The Exact UN packaging code and performance level Depend on the product’s hazard class and packing group shown on the SDS. Be sure to confirm with your dangerous goods specialist or carrier whether your Specialty chemicals are fully regulated, limited quantity, or exempt before selecting packaging.

Most industrial chemicals shipments need a Transport document, the latest SDS, and Accurate labels and markings that Match the classification. Our team recommends including emergency contact details, handling instructions (e.g., “Keep Dry,” “Do Not Stack”), and any Permits required by local authorities for specific Chemical products.

You can sometimes consolidate different industrial chemicals, but only if Segregation rules are followed. Always check the SDS and relevant ADR/IMDG/IATA tables to ensure acids, bases, oxidizers, flammables, and other Chemical goods are properly separated. Use Separate pallets and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.

Because industrial chemicals can cause environmental damage if leaks occur, Additional cargo insurance Is strongly recommended. Review your policy to confirm that dangerous goods and specialty chemicals are not excluded, and that coverage Includes contamination, disposal, and emergency response costs where applicable.

Chemicals must be properly classified and labeled according to the regulations of the U.S. Department of Transportation and the International Maritime Organization. Additionally, appropriate packaging and containment measures should be in place to prevent leaks or spills during ocean transport.
