When shipping from Vitoria, Brazil to Toronto, Canada, anticipate significant delays due to the Brazilian wet season (October-March) and South Atlantic cyclone risk (November-April). Include extra buffer days for potential disruptions and confirm vessel space well in advance, especially during peak fruit (January-May, September-December) and soy export seasons (February-June). Monitor weather forecasts and adjust schedules accordingly, as winter storms (December-March) in North America can further impact transit times. Consider extended lead times and flexible delivery windows to mitigate congestion and ensure timely delivery.

Shipping moisture-sensitive chemical goods necessitates tight-closing drums or jerricans, foil or poly liners, and moisture absorbers 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, tested and approved packaging must be used 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. Verify 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 must include a DG shipping paper, the latest SDS, and complete labels and markings that align with the classification. Best practice is 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 chemical products, but only if regulatory separation requirements are met. First review the SDS and relevant ADR/IMDG/IATA tables to ensure acids, bases, oxidizers, flammables, and other chemical products do not conflict. Use physical barriers and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.
Because Chemical products can cause significant loss if leaks occur, enhanced freight 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.
When shipping chemicals, it is essential to ensure that all products are securely packaged to prevent leaks or spills during transit. Additionally, proper labeling and identification of hazardous materials are required to comply with international shipping regulations.
Shippers must ensure compliance with the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA) and provide necessary documentation, including Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and import permits, to meet both Brazilian export and Canadian import regulations.
