Moving moisture-sensitive chemical goods demands tight-closing drums or jerricans, Barrier liners or overbags, and drying agents inside cartons or overpacks. Shippers should also Specify “Keep Dry” on labels and booking notes and Avoid open or vented storage and transit equipment where humidity can build up.
For most regulated chemical goods, tested and approved packaging is mandatory when shipping by road, sea, or air. The specific UN packaging code and performance level Depend 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 specialty chemicals shipments must include a dangerous goods declaration, the latest SDS, and complete labels and markings that Match 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 may be able to 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 are properly separated. Use physical barriers and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.
Because specialty chemicals can cause significant loss if leaks occur, specialized cargo coverage is advisable. 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.
When shipping chemicals, it is essential to ensure that the cargo is properly packaged according to international regulations, including the IMDG Code. Additionally, appropriate labeling and placarding must be adhered to for hazardous materials. It is also important to maintain proper temperature controls and ventilation during transit to prevent any reactions or degradation of the chemical products.
The necessary documentation includes a bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and specific certificates such as a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and any relevant export permits or import licenses required by Indian customs for chemicals. Compliance with both Canadian and Indian regulatory requirements is crucial to facilitate smooth customs clearance.
