When shipping from Vitoria, Brazil to Genoa, Italy, expect significant delays during the Brazilian wet season (October-March) due to rainfall and flooding. Add buffer days to your schedules and confirm flexible berthing windows to mitigate congestion risks. Additionally, during the South Atlantic cyclone risk period (November-April), monitor weather forecasts closely and plan around tight delivery commitments. Expect increased competition for vessel space during peak fruit (January-May, September-December) and soy export seasons (February-June), necessitating early bookings and contingency plans.

Moving moisture-sensitive specialty chemicals demands tight-closing drums or jerricans, vapor-barrier wraps, and moisture absorbers inside cartons or overpacks. It is important to Specify “Keep Dry” on labels and booking notes and not use open or vented storage and transit equipment where humidity can build up.
For most regulated chemical goods, UN-rated packaging is mandatory when shipping by road, sea, or air. The specific UN packaging code and performance level are determined by the product’s hazard class and packing group shown on the SDS. Verify 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 need a dangerous goods declaration, the latest SDS, and complete labels and markings that correspond to the classification. Best practice is 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 may be able to consolidate different industrial chemicals, 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 products do not conflict. Use segregation panels and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.
Because specialty chemicals can cause environmental damage if leaks occur, specialized cargo coverage is advisable. Carefully review your policy to confirm that dangerous goods and specialty chemicals are not excluded, and that coverage extends to contamination, disposal, and emergency response costs where applicable.
Chemicals must be packed in compliance with international regulations, including the IMDG Code for maritime transport. Proper labeling and documentation are required to indicate the nature of the chemicals and any hazards they may pose. Additionally, appropriate temperature control and securing methods should be implemented to prevent leaks or spills during transit.
Shipments of chemicals must comply with both Brazilian and Italian regulations, including the Brazilian National Sanitary Surveillance Agency (ANVISA) guidelines and the European Union’s REACH regulation. Import permits, safety data sheets (SDS), and proper customs documentation must be prepared to ensure compliance with customs authorities in both countries.
