How is this geranium oil transported and stored during shipment?
TPS-RO-011 geranium oil ships as UN 3082 — Environmentally hazardous substance, liquid, N.O.S. (Class 9). That classification shapes packaging, documentation, and carrier choice, but it is a routine, low-complexity dangerous-goods move, not a flammable-liquid shipment.
Transport Summary

- Sea containers are the normal channel; the product does not need refrigeration during shipment
- For air freight, geranium oil is accepted under the limited-quantity provisions for Class 9 — but check the airline's acceptance rules first
- Small courier samples travel as fully declared dangerous goods or under the courier's own exemption, depending on the lane
- During storage, keep drums upright, on pallets, away from direct heat and sunlight, with good warehouse ventilation
- Flash point ≥ 64°C means no special flammable-liquid storage licence is required in most jurisdictions — only the Class 9 environmental rules
