Logistics & Dangerous Goods

Packaging, DG classification, transit times and trial shipments.

Do you ship dangerous goods such as MDI and TDI?

TDI and most MDI grades are classified as dangerous goods (UN 2078, Class 6.1). They are shipped with UN-certified packaging, DG labels and full documentation, and DG acceptance together with vessel availability is confirmed for your destination port before quotation.

Dangerous goods shipping guide

What packaging options are available?

Standard options include 200 kg and 250 kg nitrogen-padded steel drums, 1000 kg IBC totes, ISO tank containers for bulk liquid and flexitanks for selected plasticizers and oleochemicals. Customised or private-label packaging is available subject to MOQ.

How long does sea freight take from Ningbo?

Typical transit times from Ningbo Port are about 7–10 days to Southeast Asia, 15–20 days to the Middle East, 25–35 days to Africa, 30–35 days to Europe and 30–40 days to South America. Dangerous goods may require specific vessel schedules, which we confirm together with the quotation.

Can small trial quantities be shipped by LCL or courier?

LCL consolidation and courier shipments (DHL/FedEx) are available for samples and trial quantities of non-DG products. Unit freight cost is higher than FCL, so LCL is normally used for evaluation rather than regular supply.

Still have a question?

Send your product, grade and destination port and we will reply with pricing, packing and documentation — usually within 24 hours on working days.
