Chemical & ADR Dangerous Goods International Transport
Turkey is a strategic chemical manufacturing and refining bridge, housing major petrochemical refineries, coating manufacturers, and specialty polymer plants. Transporting hazardous cargo across European borders demands rigorous compliance with the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR). Brosan Lojistik provides certified EX/II, EX/III box trailers, acid-resistant ADR curtain-siders, and T11/T14 ISO tank containers. Every transport is managed by certified Dangerous Goods Safety Advisors (DGSA), supported by multilingual Tremcards, spill-kit equipped fleets, and direct transit permits across the Balkans and Western Europe.

Sector FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions: Chemical & ADR
Which ADR classes does Brosan Lojistik transport between Turkey and Europe?
We transport ADR Classes 2 (gases), 3 (flammable liquids), 4.1/4.2/4.3 (flammable solids), 5.1/5.2 (oxidizing agents and organic peroxides), 6.1 (toxic substances), 8 (corrosives), and 9 (miscellaneous dangerous goods). We do not transport Class 1 (explosives) or Class 7 (radioactive substances).
What documentation is required to book an ADR chemical transport from Turkey?
Shippers must provide a 16-section Safety Data Sheet (SDS / MSDS) compliant with REACH / KKDİK, an ADR Multimodal Dangerous Goods Declaration specifying UN Number, Proper Shipping Name, Class, Packing Group, Tunnel Restriction Code, and net/gross weights.
How are customs and transit clearance managed for hazardous materials?
Our customs specialists coordinate border crossings via Kapıkule / Hamzabeyli or Ro-Ro ports (Pendik, Yalova, Çeşme). We verify that customs checkpoints and border storage areas are authorized to clear the designated UN numbers, avoiding transit delays.
Do you provide temperature-controlled transport for self-reactive chemicals?
Yes. We operate specialized ATEX-certified bi-temp and mono-temp refrigerated trailers equipped with continuous temperature loggers for Class 4.1 self-reactive substances and Class 5.2 organic peroxides requiring Control Temperature (Tc) and Emergency Temperature (Te) monitoring.
