Moving moisture-sensitive chemical goods necessitates high-integrity packaging, vapor-barrier wraps, and moisture absorbers inside cartons or overpacks. Shippers should also Specify “Keep Dry” on labels and booking notes and steer clear of open or vented storage and transit equipment where humidity can build up.
For most regulated chemical goods, tested and approved packaging must be used when shipping by road, sea, or air. The applicable UN packaging code and performance level are determined by the product’s hazard class and packing group shown on the SDS.

Most specialty chemicals shipments must include a DG shipping paper, the latest SDS, and correct labels and markings that correspond to the classification.

Carefully verify the SDS and relevant ADR/IMDG/IATA tables to ensure acids, bases, oxidizers, flammables, and other chemical products do not conflict.

Because specialty chemicals can cause significant loss if leaks occur, enhanced freight insurance is often required by buyers. Carefully review your policy to confirm that dangerous goods and specialty chemicals are not excluded, and that coverage covers contamination, disposal, and emergency response costs where applicable.
