Shipping Chemical Goods from Tokyo to New York via Ocean Freight

Shipping moisture-sensitive specialty chemicals necessitates Sealed primary containers, Barrier liners or overbags, and Desiccants inside cartons or overpacks. You should also indicate “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, UN-rated packaging must be used 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. 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 need a DG shipping paper, the latest SDS, and Accurate labels and markings that Match the classification. We recommend 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 industrial chemicals, but only if regulatory separation requirements are met. 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 Separate pallets and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.

Because Chemical products can cause environmental damage if leaks occur, enhanced freight insurance Is strongly recommended. Review your policy to confirm that dangerous goods and Chemical goods are not excluded, and that coverage Includes contamination, disposal, and emergency response costs where applicable.
