When shipping from Tokyo, Japan to Port Said, Egypt, expect significant delays during the East Asia rainy season (May-October) and typhoon season (June-November); add extra buffer days for transit times. Book vessel space well in advance, especially around Japan's Golden Week (April 20-May 10) and the Eid al Fitr holiday (March-June), as delays are common. Adjust schedules for potential disruptions during the Mediterranean winter storms (November-March) and Suez Canal congestion (January-March) to ensure timely deliveries.

Moving moisture-sensitive chemical goods necessitates high-integrity packaging, vapor-barrier wraps, and drying agents inside cartons or overpacks. Shippers 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 chemical goods, tested and approved packaging must be used when shipping by road, sea, or air. The applicable UN packaging code and performance level are determined by 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 specialty chemicals shipments must include a DG shipping paper, the latest SDS, and correct labels and markings that correspond to the classification. Our team recommends including emergency contact details, handling instructions (e.g., “Keep Dry,” “Do Not Stack”), and any licenses required by local authorities for specific chemical goods.
You may be able to consolidate different chemical products, but only if regulatory separation requirements are met. Carefully verify the SDS and relevant ADR/IMDG/IATA tables to ensure acids, bases, oxidizers, flammables, and other chemical products are properly separated. Use physical barriers and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.
Because specialty chemicals can cause significant loss if leaks occur, enhanced freight insurance is often required by buyers. Carefully review your policy to confirm that dangerous goods and Chemical goods are not excluded, and that coverage covers contamination, disposal, and emergency response costs where applicable.
When shipping chemicals via ocean from Tokyo to Port Said, it is essential to ensure that all containers are properly sealed and labeled according to international regulations. Additionally, temperature-sensitive chemicals may require special refrigeration during transit, and all cargo must comply with the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code.
