Creosote oil is a dark, viscous liquid derived from coal tar, commonly used as a preservative for timber and as a chemical intermediate. Before shipping, note that the product has a strong odor and requires handling in well-ventilated containers.
When exporting creosote oil, consignments should be sealed in leak‑proof drums rated for hazardous liquids, and a Certificate of Origin must accompany the shipping documents. The oil must be stored at temperatures below 25 °C to prevent vapor buildup during transit.
