Fertiliser & Agrochemical Export Logistics
Fertilisers and agrochemicals are sensitive cargo. Packaging certificate, MSDS, carrier approval — none can be skipped. We run this process every day.
Where this industry usually gets hurt
Serving manufacturers across Xuzhou, these are the problems we see most often.
DG declaration is complex
Some fertilisers, such as ammonium nitrate, are dangerous goods requiring a packaging certificate, MSDS and DG declaration, with strict and slow carrier approval.
Carrier acceptance varies
Not every carrier accepts dangerous goods, and requirements differ by trade lane, so bookings get declined.
Peak season space squeeze
Before spring planting and autumn harvest, space tightens and rates rise — last-minute bookings can cost double.
Caking from moisture
Fertilisers absorb moisture readily. Caked cargo at sea affects quality and the buyer refuses the shipment.
How we solve it
From planning to execution — each item answers one of the problems above.
Full DG capability
Familiar with IMO classification and declaration; we arrange the dangerous goods packaging certificate and pre-review MSDS to avoid rejection.
Multiple DG-accepting carriers
Several contracted carriers accept dangerous goods. We match by trade lane to whichever will actually take the booking.
Lock space ahead of season
Lock space and rate before peak season instead of paying the spike later.
Moisture-proof packing
Inner PE liner plus outer woven bag with container desiccants keeps moisture content in range on arrival.
Compliant end to end
DG marking, declaration and documentation handled to standard from factory to destination clearance, reducing inspection risk.
Transport modes that fit
Packing & loading notes
Inner PE moisture liner plus outer woven bag, palletised and stretch wrapped, desiccants in the container, and DG labelling with segregated stowage as required by IMO.

Frequently asked questions
Which fertilisers are dangerous goods?
Ammonium nitrate types (UN 2067/1942) and some high-concentration oxidisers are regulated. Urea, phosphate and potash fertilisers usually ship as general cargo but still require an MSDS for carrier review.
How far ahead should I book DG cargo?
Allow 10–14 days to cover the dangerous goods packaging certificate and carrier approval. Earlier in peak season.
What is special about pesticide export?
Most pesticides are dangerous goods requiring a packaging certificate plus MSDS, and some countries require pesticide registration. An import permit may also be needed at destination.
How do I prevent caking?
Use double moisture protection with an inner PE liner, put enough desiccant in the container, avoid ventilated container types, and collect promptly on arrival.
