Shipping moisture-sensitive Chemical products demands high-integrity packaging, foil or poly liners, and Desiccants inside cartons or overpacks. Shippers should also indicate “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 Industrial chemicals, UN-certified packaging is mandatory when shipping by road, sea, or air. The applicable 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.
Most Chemical goods shipments Require a dangerous goods declaration, the latest SDS, and correct labels and markings that align with the classification.
