Macaw Chemical

Importing and exporting chemicals in New York City demands a partner who knows the port’s rhythms and the paperwork inside out. Macaw Chemical operates from 15 W 47th St, steps from the Diamond District’s glitter and the garment racks of Sixth Avenue.

This stretch of Midtown hums with freight elevators and customs brokers by day, quieting only after the last delivery van pulls away. The company specializes in moving bulk and specialty chemicals across borders, handling everything from solvents to industrial intermediates without fanfare.

Questions about tariffs or documentation can be directed to the office during business hours. A call ahead will save a trip if the lobby is locked; the number is on the door.

For directions, the map at this link pinpoints the building between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, where the sidewalks still smell faintly of roasted nuts from the street carts.
