Shipping Industrial Chemicals from Tianjin to Manaus via Ocean Freight

Shipping moisture-sensitive chemical goods demands tight-closing drums or jerricans, vapor-barrier wraps, and moisture absorbers 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 Industrial chemicals, tested and approved packaging is mandatory when shipping by road, sea, or air. The specific UN packaging code and performance level are determined by the product’s hazard class and packing group shown on the SDS. Verify 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 must include a dangerous goods declaration, the latest SDS, and complete labels and markings that correspond to the classification. Best practice is including emergency contact details, handling instructions (e.g., “Keep Dry,” “Do Not Stack”), and any Permits required by local authorities for specific chemical goods.

You Can often consolidate different chemical products, 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 goods do not conflict. Use Separate pallets and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.

Because Chemical products can cause significant loss if leaks occur, specialized cargo coverage is advisable. Carefully 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 require specific handling procedures including proper packaging, labeling, and compliance with international maritime regulations to prevent leaks and spills during transport.

The shipment of chemicals requires adherence to both Chinese export regulations and Brazilian import regulations, including obtaining necessary permits, safety data sheets, and ensuring compliance with the Brazilian National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA) regulations for hazardous materials.
