Petroleum Supply FAQ: Grades, SDS & Shipping

    Straight answers on petroleum grades, test methods, order sizes, samples, payment and moving classified cargo.

    Shipping

    1

    Can you export petroleum products to my country?

    In many cases, yes, but BG Petro Chemicals checks each destination before quoting. For petroleum and petrochemical products the deciding points are the hazard class, the import, registration and customs rules in your market, and a carrier or shipping line that accepts the UN number. Send the delivery country or port with the product and grade, and we check the route, Incoterm and shipping documents.
    2

    What lead time should I plan for?

    Lead times are set per offer. They depend on the producer's schedule, any sample approval, the pack (flexitank, ISO tank, drums or bags) and dangerous-goods booking for classified loads. Each offer states the lead time for its pack option, so you can plan deliveries around it.
    3

    Can you ship flammable and other dangerous goods?

    Enquiries for classified materials, such as flammable solvents, benzene and methanol, are reviewed against UN classification, packaging, carrier acceptance and destination rules before BG Petro Chemicals confirms whether supply can be offered.
