Shipping Chemical Goods from Xiaolan to Charlotte via Ocean Freight

Shipping moisture-sensitive specialty chemicals Requires tight-closing drums or jerricans, foil or poly liners, and Desiccants inside cartons or overpacks.

For most regulated Industrial chemicals, UN-rated 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. Always confirm with your dangerous goods specialist or carrier whether your Specialty chemicals are fully regulated, limited quantity, or exempt before selecting packaging.
