Shipping Chemicals from Xiamen to Yantian via Ocean Freight

Moving moisture-sensitive specialty chemicals demands tight-closing drums or jerricans, Barrier liners or overbags, and moisture absorbers inside cartons or overpacks. Shippers should also indicate “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, UN-rated 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. 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 Match 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 goods.

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 goods do not conflict. Use physical barriers and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.

Because specialty chemicals can cause environmental damage 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.

Chemicals require specialized handling due to their hazardous nature. It is essential to ensure that containers are properly sealed and labeled, and that all safety data sheets (SDS) are available. Additionally, the loading and unloading process must comply with safety regulations to prevent spills or exposure.
