Product classification
The first question is whether the product is classified as hazardous. Classification affects the documents, packing, labeling, and carriers available.
Safety Data Sheet (SDS)
The SDS describes the product’s properties and handling requirements. An up-to-date SDS is normally required before any review can begin.
Destination requirements
Countries regulate chemical imports differently. Some products need permits, registrations, or approvals at destination.
Packing and labeling
Packing must suit the product and its classification. Hazardous goods have specific packing and labeling rules.
Carrier acceptance
Carriers decide whether they accept specific products on specific routes. Acceptance can differ between carriers and over time.
Why we review before confirming
Because each of these checks can change the answer, we do not confirm chemical shipments before review. This protects you from commitments that cannot be delivered.

General guidance. Requirements vary by product, route, and date, so they are confirmed for each request.
