When shipping chemicals, it is crucial to ensure compliance with international safety regulations, including proper labeling and packaging to prevent leaks or spills. The cargo should be stowed away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Additionally, it is important to have Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) available for all chemical products.
