Description
Sassafras oil is an essential oil and is from plant origin.
A concentration of the odor from this oil is highly volatile and inflammable. It has an acid taste and an extremely pungent smell and if a leak occurs, can contaminate and damage tropical products such as tea, coffee beans, cocoa beans, tobacco etc. These hermetically closed drums should be carefully examined and checked prior to stowage in a 20 ft GP container, which has been lined with heavy duty poly film for protection. Never reuse any of the packaging on subsequent cargoes.
Reference is made to the relevant IMO regulations on hazardous cargo.
