When shipping from Tokyo, Japan to Navegantes, Brazil, anticipate significant delays due to the East Asia rainy season (May-October) and Brazil's wet season (October-March). Allow for extra buffer days to account for port congestion and potential flooding. Book vessel space and inland transport well in advance, particularly during peak periods like Golden Week (April 20-May 10) and the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December). Stay updated on weather conditions and adjust schedules accordingly to mitigate disruptions from typhoons (June-November) and winter storms (November-March).

Shipping moisture-sensitive chemical goods necessitates tight-closing drums or jerricans, foil or poly liners, and drying agents inside cartons or overpacks. It is important to 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 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. Be sure to confirm with your dangerous goods specialist or carrier whether your industrial chemicals are fully regulated, limited quantity, or exempt before selecting packaging.
Most Chemical goods shipments must include a DG shipping paper, the latest SDS, and complete labels and markings that align with the classification. Our team recommends including emergency contact details, handling instructions (e.g., “Keep Dry,” “Do Not Stack”), and any special approvals required by local authorities for specific Chemical products.
You Can often consolidate different chemical products, 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 properly separated. Use segregation panels and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.
Because Chemical products can cause significant loss 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 extends to contamination, disposal, and emergency response costs where applicable.
Chemicals must be handled according to international regulations, including proper labeling, packaging, and documentation to ensure safety during transport. Specific precautions may be needed based on the type of chemicals being shipped, including temperature control and segregation of incompatible materials.
Shipments of chemicals from Japan to Brazil must comply with both countries' regulatory frameworks, including the Brazilian National Agency for Sanitary Surveillance (ANVISA) regulations and Japan's Chemical Substances Control Law. Proper documentation, such as Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and import permits, may be required for customs clearance.
