Shipping Chemical Goods from Yantian to Bogota via Ocean Freight

Transporting moisture-sensitive chemical goods demands tight-closing drums or jerricans, Barrier liners or overbags, and moisture absorbers inside cartons or overpacks. It is important to clearly note “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 products, 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. Verify with your dangerous goods specialist or carrier whether your industrial chemicals are fully regulated, limited quantity, or exempt before selecting packaging.

Most industrial chemicals shipments must include 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 special approvals required by local authorities for specific Chemical products.

You can sometimes 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 do not conflict. Use segregation panels and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.

Because industrial 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 extends to contamination, disposal, and emergency response costs where applicable.

When shipping chemicals via ocean freight, it is essential to comply with international regulations such as the IMDG Code. Proper labeling, packaging, and documentation are required to ensure safety and compliance during transport. Additionally, the cargo must be stowed in a way that prevents contamination and allows for appropriate ventilation.

Shipping chemicals from Yantian to Bogota requires adherence to both Chinese export regulations and Colombian import regulations. Export permits may be needed from Chinese authorities, while Colombian customs will require specific documentation, such as a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and certificates of analysis, to ensure compliance with local chemical safety standards.
