Shipping Specialty Chemicals from Valencia to Suape via Ocean Freight

Shipping moisture-sensitive Chemical products Requires tight-closing drums or jerricans, foil or poly liners, and drying agents inside cartons or overpacks. Shippers should also Specify “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-certified packaging Is required 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 Specialty chemicals are fully regulated, limited quantity, or exempt before selecting packaging.

Most Chemical goods shipments Require a Transport document, 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 licenses required by local authorities for specific Chemical products.

You Can often consolidate different Specialty chemicals, but only if Segregation rules are followed. First review 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 Chemical products can cause Costly cleanup if leaks occur, Additional cargo insurance is advisable. Always review your policy to confirm that dangerous goods and specialty chemicals are not excluded, and that coverage covers contamination, disposal, and emergency response costs where applicable.
