Transporting moisture-sensitive specialty chemicals Requires Sealed primary containers, vapor-barrier wraps, and Desiccants inside cartons or overpacks. It is important to indicate “Keep Dry” on labels and booking notes and Avoid 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 are determined by the product’s hazard class and packing group shown on the SDS. Always confirm with your dangerous goods specialist or carrier whether your industrial 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 correspond to the classification. We recommend including emergency contact details, handling instructions (e.g., “Keep Dry,” “Do Not Stack”), and any special approvals required by local authorities for specific chemical goods.
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 not stored or loaded together. Use segregation panels and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.
Because industrial chemicals can cause environmental damage if leaks occur, Additional cargo insurance Is strongly recommended. Carefully review your policy to confirm that dangerous goods and Chemical goods are not excluded, and that coverage extends to contamination, disposal, and emergency response costs where applicable.
When shipping chemicals within Mexico, it is essential to comply with the regulations set by the Mexican government, including proper classification of the chemical goods, safety data sheets, and any necessary permits for hazardous materials.
