From Turkey, Poland, the Czech Republic, and other countries. Did you know that chemical industry products such as monoethylene glycol and some types of phenol-formaldehyde resins are not classified as dangerous when transported by road? This means an ADR certificate for the tank is not needed, and special driver’s licenses for the driver are not required, even if this product is considered dangerous during production and processing.
We recommend checking section 14 of the Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) of the raw material or product you plan to bring before ordering transportation. Or contact us; we will help you understand this information. This will save you from unnecessary expenses on ordering transport with special permits. It is also important that the driver is properly instructed about the properties of the product being transported. After all, border authorities often nitpick about chemicals and demand ADR where it’s not needed. Loadstar will consult you on such issues and help select the type of transport and permits truly necessary for your cargo.

ADR is an abbreviation for “Accord européen relatif au transport international des marchandises dangereuses par route,” which translates as “The European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road.”
A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provides basic information on a material or chemical product. An MSDS describes the properties and potential hazards of the material, how to use it safely, and what to do in an emergency.
