Can liquid bulk containers be used for international shipping?

Liquid bulk containers can be used to ship non-hazardous products in international shipping loads. These disposable bulk containers need to be properly secured and braced. Depending on the density and weight of the liquid, you can export up to a 20 ft or 40-foot container space. 

Paper Systems has been using disposable bulk totes for international shipping for over 30 20 years. Some food grade liquids we have shipped include cosmetics, edible oils, dairy products, specialty chemicals, and beverages.  

Not all international shipping applications are a good fit for liquid bulk containers.  Many chemicals are hazardous rated and need special labeling and packaging to be approved for international shipping.  Once you check the local and international rules, you can determine what will work best for your needs. 20 ft or 40 ft shipments can be maximized for space and weight for international shipping uses.
