Airlines follow strict regulations (e.g. IATA’s Dangerous Goods Regulations) to control what chemicals can be shipped by air and under what conditions.

Do the packages have to be clearly marked?

Yes, all packages must be clearly marked with the correct hazardous class, UN Number, and any other necessary regulatory labels to identify the hazards involved.
