When shipping from Zhanjiang, China to Itapoa, Brazil, anticipate significant delays due to the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and Brazil's Wet Season (October-March). Add extra buffer days to your schedules, especially during peak rainfall months (June-September and November-February), to reduce risks of port congestion and delayed transshipments. Confirm vessel space and equipment well in advance, particularly before the Golden Week (October 1-7) and during the South America Soy Export Peak (February-June), as capacity tightens. Stay updated on weather forecasts and adjust routing as necessary to accommodate potential disruptions.

Shipping moisture-sensitive specialty chemicals necessitates tight-closing drums or jerricans, vapor-barrier wraps, and drying agents inside cartons or overpacks. It is important to 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 Industrial chemicals, UN-rated packaging must be used 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. Be sure to confirm with your dangerous goods specialist or carrier whether your industrial chemicals are fully regulated, limited quantity, or exempt before selecting packaging.
Most Chemical goods shipments need a DG shipping paper, the latest SDS, and complete labels and markings that correspond to the classification. Our team recommends including emergency contact details, handling instructions (e.g., “Keep Dry,” “Do Not Stack”), and any special approvals required by local authorities for specific chemical goods.
You Can often consolidate different industrial chemicals, 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 goods are properly separated. Use segregation panels and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.
Because Chemical products can cause environmental damage if leaks occur, enhanced freight insurance 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.
